Antenna Adaptor Dual FAKRA to DIN with Power

Dual FAKRA Male to DIN Male Aerial Cable Adapter with Phantom Power Supply (+12V)

Description
Upgrade your car radio or head unit without sacrificing crystal-clear radio reception. This high-quality antenna adapter allows you to seamlessly connect an aftermarket car radio featuring a standard DIN aerial input to your vehicle's factory-fitted dual FAKRA aerial cables. Designed specifically for active diversity antenna systems, it features an integrated +12V phantom power supply lead that powers the vehicle's factory built-in aerial amplifiers directly through both coaxial lines.

Why Phantom Power is Essential:
Many modern European and late-model vehicles (such as Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Peugeot, and others) use active, amplified twin-aerial diversity systems powered via the original factory radio. When replacing the factory stereo with an aftermarket unit, this power source is lost. Without a phantom power supply adapter, the factory aerial amplifiers remain off, resulting in extremely weak, static-filled AM/FM radio reception. Connecting the blue lead to your aftermarket head unit's +12V power antenna trigger restores full power to both factory amplifiers for maximum reception quality.

Features & Highlights:

• Dual FAKRA Compatibility: Combines twin factory FAKRA antenna leads into a single standard DIN head unit aerial plug.
• Restores Signal Strength: Ensures factory amplified diversity antennas function correctly, eliminating poor AM/FM reception after a radio upgrade.
• Easy 12V Connection: Blue power lead connects directly to the auto-antenna / remote turn-on output (+12V DC) of your aftermarket stereo.
• Universal Application: Compatible with a wide range of European and Asian vehicles utilising dual FAKRA aerial connections.
• Flexible Installation: Generous ~45 cm cable length makes routing easy behind tight dashboard spaces.

Specifications:

• Input Connectors: Two (2x) FAKRA Male (Teal / Water Blue / Universal coding)
• Output Connector: DIN Male (Standard long-pin plug)
• Supported Bands: AM / FM Radio
• Power Supply: Integrated +12V DC phantom power lead with fly wire (supplies power to both FAKRA leads)
• Cable Length: 45 cm (approx.)
• Note: Appearance may vary slightly depending on manufacturing batches.

How to Install:
Plug your vehicle's original twin FAKRA antenna connectors into the adapter's dual FAKRA Male inputs, then push the DIN Male connector into the rear aerial socket of your new car radio. Connect the blue power wire to the blue +12V "Power Antenna" or "Remote Turn-On" wire from your aftermarket head unit harness. This automatically feeds +12V to both aerial amplifiers whenever the radio is switched on. Professional installation is recommended.
