    What's an antenna regulator and do I need it?

    Hi All,

    I have a 2006 X5 and am lucky enough to have an antenna regulator (6945425) connected to the Bluetooth.

    Well.... I say connected, I actually broke the Fakra connection when changing out the TCU.

    Question is,... what does it actually do and do I need to get a new lead (£25±) to connect it?

    Cheers

    James

    I'm not sure... xoutpost.com tends to have good information about these types of things.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Update:
    He says that if it's the module the antenna plugs into, it's a signal booster and filter. Since he's not sure what module you're talking about, he asks that you send a pic of the unit that was broken.

    He needs to find out what exactly was broken; was it a cable or a module?
    He referred to "antenna diversity", which is used for AM/FM reception, as well as keyless entry. Probably a different module, but once it's clarified what exactly was broken, he can explain what it is.

    Is the "antenna regulator" and it's now the fakar cable that's broken....

    Do I get a new cable? Why? Thanks!!
