Looking for an adapter to go from a domestic antenna to a European (VW) deck. Can anyone recommend a well-stocked stereo shop in Richmond or Surrey that I should call?

Finding adapters to go from Euro antennas to domestic / aftermarket decks is easy. But going the other way isn't.

Tried Best Buy. They didn't have one and the guy said they rarely keep them around because very few people need 'em.

I checked my catalogues, uhhh, no I can't find any backwards antenna adapters.

Try Ralphs Radio, they have everything most of the time.

SMI Industrial Electronics can definately get it for you, but you'll have to wait for it.

This one did, too. They just didn't have any in stock due to lack of demand.

Called 'em but Dusty wasn't in yet. Talked to someone else and they had them in stock. $15 vs. $26 from the dealer.

BTW Bow Wow also sold 'em for $15 but they don't carry 'em anymore.

Thx!

Augh. So I went to Visions yesterday after work, after fighting my way from Richmond to the Alex Fraser, and then across to King George Hwy. I had called earlier to confirm they had what I wanted. So I get there and they had exactly the OPPOSITE of what I wanted. I wanted a domestic antenna to a VW radio. They had an adapter to go from a VW antenna to a domestic radio.

I think I'll just go to the dealer and spent an extra $10 rather than drive around some more.

Ya, I've been noticing alot lately that you really have to emphasize which end is male and which end is female. Some people just don't get it!
