Default Antenna Adapter?

What is the part number of the correct Metra Antenna adapter for a 2010 insight? The two that I have purchased from Best Buy have not been the correct one.

Project,
What trim level/model is your Insight? As the base model uses a diffrent radio head unit than the LX and EX. I know the wiring harness is different because I tried them but not to sure about the Antenna adater though.
I have a 2011 Base trim...and I used this Metra 40-HD30 Antenna Adapter for radio antenna.
What I did was I took some pics of the factory antenna connector with my phone then went to the store and try to match it with one in store.

Default EX antenna adapter is different

> I know the wiring harness is different because I tried them but not to sure about the Antenna adapter though.

It seems to be different. We have a 2011 EX and I got a kit on eBay (item 330528537816) but the antenna adapter looks like the 40-HD30 and it's wrong. The 40-HD11 appears to be the correct one for the 2011 EX.

As SkyBlu notes, taking a picture of what you have is a great approach. You can even use the picture to match something up online (which led me to the 40-HD11.)
