Review on πŸ”Œ Metra 40-VW20 VW/Audi/European Vehicle Adapter by Brian Kingsford

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect for my application but was able to retrofit successfully

This was my second purchase attempt to convert my odd 2002 Saab convertible antenna to standard RCA tuning. Again, this was less than a success. It is impossible to determine the diameter of the pin inside the connector from the photos. Unfortunately it turned out to be a bit chunky to fit in my OEM Saab radio. However, I was able to disassemble the coax connector, find a real coax cable TV system connector and convert it to it using wire strippers and tape. The wire in the cable was a bit small for the job, you can strip it about an inch and then double it back to get just the right thickness for a good connection in the rare event that a 2002 Saab antenna rebuild is also your actual application is . The overall success of the air conversion was anything but outstanding. I think due to the age or design of the SAAB radios they just don't pick up the FM bands well in the US and I haven't had success tuning the antenna to AM stations.

Pros
  • Antenna Adapter Kit
Cons
  • Questionable Senior Purchase
