The connector looks like a standard Mini-USB-B 5-Pin ; so I cut the cable expecting to splice on a cut cable from a standard Mini-USB-B cable. The XM Antenna cable is 5-conductor. I'm learning that every Mini-USB-B cable I buy and cut is 4-conductor. Does anyone have any good answers ?? All I'm needing is a straight connector on my XM Antenna. Larry E.

You may be SOL and have to buy a new antenna/reciever. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry James To: aviation-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, May 07, 2007 6:18 PM Subject: Aviation-List: Garmin 496 - XM Antenna connector Installing a Garmin 496 in my Super Decathlon and the 90 degree connector for the XM Antenna has interference issues.
