As expected really. Then you are back to finding a 1/2 length antenna (1/2 of whats there today).

It's possible to cut the signal cables, and use connectors etc, but to get that properly done is a pain, and you need the right tools, and this and that.
How stiff are the antenna that is there today, really?

Still looking into this. I removed the head unit to look at the connectors. I think I may have a solution.
I am thinking if I buy this Swivel base aerial and use a separate GPS antenna. I hope that with the adaptors they sell I will be able to connect the replacement aerial to the connector in the roof lining. Still need to do a bit of digging.

Shouldn't be an issue, as long as the little white connector up in the ceiling matches. As long as you get the right signal type on the right cable, they'll work. They are standard. You only need to get a good connection, and the right cables to match.
Or you need to chop cables, and join them manually. As mentioned before, it might not be fantastic fun.
Glad to see you have progress
