I need to get a stanbard car stereo unit mounted under a shelf as far back as possible, and the normal 'straight-out' aerial plug is an issue.

Are there any right-angle plugs available? I can find them for domestic TV aerials but not car stereos.

Many thanks!

If it is the standard aerial socket, then your best best is using these two:

Do you have a 12v regulated power supply? If not, let me know as I've got several kicking around (and ISO to DIN adapters)

Thanks very much - Maplin drew a blank but I rang Halfords yesterday and a helpful chap identified that same combo from their website (albeit at £4.99 a lump!). It's for a boat so there's plenty of 12V around.

Thanks again smile
