Product Overview
The CAC ANNS2 addresses the specialized antenna compatibility challenge when installing aftermarket head units in early model Nissan vehicles and Subaru Outback equipped with diversity 2-pin antenna systems. Older Nissan models from 1987-2008 utilize diversity antenna systems featuring dual antenna connections (2-pin type) incompatible with standard single antenna inputs found on most aftermarket stereos. Diversity antenna systems employ multiple antennas positioned strategically around vehicles improving radio reception quality by automatically selecting the antenna receiving the strongest signal, reducing signal dropouts and improving overall reception performance particularly in challenging environments.
This professional-grade antenna adapter cable maintains diversity antenna system functionality when installing aftermarket head units, converting factory 2-pin diversity antenna connections to standard format compatible with aftermarket stereos from Pioneer, Kenwood, Sony, Alpine, JVC, and other major brands. The ANNS2 ensures transparent signal transfer preserving the enhanced radio reception quality diversity antenna systems provide, maintaining the clear AM/FM reception Nissan owners expect from their vehicles particularly important in older models where antenna system quality significantly impacts listening experience.
Compatible with extensive early model Nissan coverage spanning performance enthusiast vehicles including legendary Skyline 350GT, 200SX Silvia, 300ZX, and 350Z sports cars, commercial trucks Navara spanning three generations, adventure-focused Pathfinder and iconic Patrol 4WD, plus midsize Maxima sedan and Murano SUV from 1987-2008 model years. The adapter also supports Subaru Outback 2000-2003 utilizing similar diversity antenna systems. This broad compatibility makes the ANNS2 essential for car audio professionals servicing classic Nissan vehicle portfolios including performance, commercial, and adventure vehicle segments. Important: Verify your specific vehicle model year and factory antenna connection type (2-pin diversity) before ordering. We cannot accept returns for incorrect vehicle compatibility selection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a diversity antenna system and why do I need this specific adapter?
A: Diversity antenna systems use multiple antennas (typically two) positioned strategically around vehicles, automatically selecting the antenna receiving the strongest signal for improved reception quality and reduced dropouts. Early Nissan models equipped with these systems use 2-pin connections incompatible with standard single-antenna aftermarket head units. The ANNS2 maintains diversity antenna functionality by properly converting the 2-pin diversity system to work with aftermarket stereos.
Q: How do I know if my Nissan has a diversity antenna system?
A: Check your factory radio's antenna connections - diversity systems have a 2-pin antenna connector rather than a standard single antenna plug. If your vehicle model and year appear in the compatibility list above and your factory radio has a 2-pin antenna connection, you need the ANNS2. Consult your vehicle's manual or check with a professional installer if unsure.
Q: Will this work with newer Nissan models?
A: The ANNS2 is specifically designed for early model Nissans from 1987-2008 with diversity 2-pin antenna systems. Newer Nissan models (generally 2007+ depending on model) use different antenna connection types requiring different adapters like ANNS3 or ANNS3-D. Always verify your specific vehicle year against compatibility lists before ordering.
Q: Will I lose reception quality compared to the factory radio?
A: No, the ANNS2 maintains diversity antenna system functionality preserving the enhanced reception quality these systems provide. The adapter ensures proper signal transfer from both antennas to your aftermarket head unit, maintaining the automatic antenna selection that reduces signal dropouts and improves overall reception quality characteristic of diversity antenna technology.
Q: Can I return this if it doesn't fit my vehicle?
A: We cannot accept returns for incorrect vehicle compatibility selection. Customers are responsible for verifying their vehicle model year appears on the compatibility list and confirming their factory radio has a 2-pin diversity antenna connection before purchase. Check your factory head unit's antenna connections or consult with a professional car audio installer to ensure the ANNS2 is correct for your specific vehicle before ordering.
