| Repair set, aerial cable -VAS 6720- |
| The repair set, aerial cable -VAS 6720- makes it possible to
attain optimal repair quality in the repair of aerial wiring RG
174 (blue) and RKT 031 (black). The set includes the respective
stripping tools and crimping tools for both aerial cables. In
addition, the case includes all the separate parts needed to
connect the Genuine plug in nearly production quality. In this
case, only the 0-coded connector (green) is required. All other
connecting wires for the various infotainment systems can be
found in ETKA (EL-electrical connection elements) in plate
035-XX. These various adapter aerial wires are specific to
vehicle models and must always be ordered separately. All the
separate parts can be found in the above-named plate for
reordering. The compartments of the case are labelled with the
part numbers of the consumable materials. The repair set is
based on the existing adapters and pliers system of the VAS
