The previous owner of our 1990 replaced the original but defective Bose Gold unit with a Pioneer stereo which caused no end of problems. (I'll describe that in another post). So, wanting to get the car back to original condition, I got a working 1990 Bose Gold unit and a replacement speaker assembly for one which was dead, we then reconnected all four speaker sets to the original harness which was thankfully left in place, and then found that the antennae connector which fitted the Pioneer stereo was too big to fit into the antennae connection on the receiver. I had thought that these things were made to a universal standard but I go that wrong. Ergo, I need either an adaptor, or better yet, an original Male antennae connector to complete the job. Can anyone out there help me with this?. Because of the very limited space at the receiver which is cleverly hidden behind the passenger side fuse box, we can't jury rig anything and I desperatly need the proper connector. Please? OK, how about "Pretty Please"...James
 
Thanks

Thanks for that, but I'm still not sure which of the ones shown is the right one for the 1990 system. Any ideas on which would be the correct one? James

Thanks for the advice but, the link led me to an adaptor to be used with anything but the original Bose Gold system. On their site, I see three different adapators, 40-GM10, 40-GM20, and 40-GM21 and I don't know which of those would fit the original Bose Gold receiver. Would you happen to know which one I need?
Thanks for your help, James

I can get the OEM part # from another computer.

If mods/admins here say OK, I can post up a list of ALL C4 parts. Downloaded it from a link (now gone), that BrianCunningham posted up last year in another forum...
 
Schrade, I sent an email to the person you sent your antennae to but no reply as yet. I would however greatly appreciate it if you could tell me which of the three different coax adaptors I referred to earlier would fit a 1990 Bose Gold receiver. From the pictures, it's not easy to tell what the differences are...Thanks, James
