The Metra 40-VW12 Antenna Adapter Plug is used during radio replacement or FM-modulator installation in select Mercedes-Benz vehicles with compatible Volkswagen/Audi European-style antenna connectors. It adapts the vehicle antenna connection so the factory antenna system can work with the new radio or connected device when the factory plug does not directly match.
At a Glance
- Adapts the vehicle antenna cable to an aftermarket radio
- Male Motorola connector on one end
- Female Volkswagen/Audi European-style antenna connector on the other end
- No internal capacitor, helping avoid reception issues on some European vehicles
- Helps retain AM/FM antenna reception during compatible installations
- Designed for vehicle-specific antenna connector applications
