The segment of the antenna cable behind the dash broke and I need to buy parts to patch it. Does anyone know the type of coaxial cable that is used?
 
Yep, like that. I don't think I'd splice it, it's only like 3-4 feet of cable, just buy a new cable (or the whole thing) all one piece. You'd likely spend more buying a splice/splitter thingy.
 
Thanks for the responses. I will take this further when I can. I cannot get many website to load on my pc at the moment...recent problem creating serious frustration on my part...gggrrrr. I have been able to determine I need an "antenna cable extension" but, I cannot find one for my vehicle yet.

You don't need a vehicle specific cable. Google showed me about 490,000 results (0.45 seconds), from 1 foot to 10 feet in length.

A local electronics hardware store, like the old, OLD Radio Shacks probably has the connectors and cable. There are at least 2-3 with in 30 miles of me.
 
I picked up one from the local Chrutchfield store,solid cable from antenna to radio.Biggest pain was running cable to radio,,,who thought bundling the antenna wire with the main harness was a good idea....

Not to mention you'd have to get the connector size right the first time.
