Hmmm, makes sense, I had seen this video before but couldn't connect the points since I didn't know what kind of adapter I needed for the fix.

So right now on my dash there should be this male connector already in place with 2 cables (3 if you consider the black as 2 alone)... I remember seeing the ground wires coming out of the damaged connector, maybe that's why it's suffering from severe interference.

I would need then to chop that cable, connect the out black w/ out black, in black w/ in black and blue w/ blue for the 12V antenna amp, then?

Sounds easy, just as it sounded easy when I was installing my head unit and broke it...

He doesn't show the final result, the ground is completely exposed when he puts in the butt connector, is it ok to leave like that?! I was thinking about doing that and using a shrink over it, but I may not have enough space to do that inside the dash. I would need to buy the butt connectors and the crimping tool, I own no tools for such repair.

That's why I'm thinking if it would be worth to just go to a professional to get it done, probably would cost around $40 in labour and would probably look better than my noob skill solution. Or I could buy the stuff and try it myself to learn it...

But in either case, thanks for the help!
