Maybe you misunderstood - the GPS antenna will not get you any data unles you connect it to a receiver. My handheld had an external jack. The internal Motorola module jack matched the one on my receiver. There is a short pigtail that goes from the car antenna to the mudule. I don't remember the connector type but there aren't that many. This was only a test type of thing I never intended to use it. I have another antenna
I used the receiver module in the VIU to to get the NEMA text string for my computer. This data will feed almost any software. This needed a converson to RS232 levels. This was the adapter I used.
Using the antenna was never a real option as a magnetic mount antenna was far easier to connect to my portable. Running a lead from the cable in the trunk where it went into the VIU is real inconvenient. Also building a cable with this type of wire and connectors to run to the dash is not easy either. The other was far more useful.
