Default Is this the right antenna adapter for an aftermarket HU?
<center><img src="http://www.mobilevideoauthority.com/i/Metra/40-VW10.jpg"></center><p>I'm getting a USB HDradio for my PC. It has the standard motorola antenna connector. I've read about needing a powered adapter to use the factory antenna with an aftermarket HU but never saw a specific link to that device.

Is this it?

TIA,

Default No that's just an adapter you need one like this, with a 12v power connection:

Default Thanks. After further research, I believe this is the exact one needed.
