Hi guys, just tryna fit my new headunit at the moment. The main problem is that the connector for the radio aerial is too short to go properly into the jack on the headunit. Below I will show you what I mean:

I'm a complete novice in regards to fitting headunits, I've done umpteen mechanical jobs but never fitted a non standard headunit before! As you can see from the (rather blury) picture, there is no way that connector on the radio aerial is gonna go all the way down into the jack which I removed from the back of the radio for comparison.
I have tried the radio with a length of soldering wire jammed into the jack and it gets good reception so I know there isn't a fault with the radio.
