Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Aftermarket Head Unit install using Factory GPS Antenna?

I tried searching for this, but was not able to find anything conclusive....

I have an aftermarket Joying Android headunit installed that has an SMA connector for the GPS and wanted to know if I can just use an adapter to convert the square connector housing to a standard SMA connector? I found this:

which seems like it could potentially work? For ~$8 its worth a try, but I was wondering if anyone has already gone down this road? Are there any concerns about trying this?

My HU came with a GPS antenna, but A) I managed to loose it and B) I didn't want to have to dig around and install it if the properly placed factory antenna would work with a simple connector adapter.

Thoughts??
Thanks!
