📡 Metra Limited 40-UV44 Y-Adapter for Motorola Antenna Review

Worked great for my dad's Chevy C10. He wanted to keep the stock stereo and also upgrade the sound system, so with this antenna adapter we were able to install two working stereos.

This splitter is described as 25 inches long but the one supplied is half that length. I had to buy an extension cord for another $6. Buy another splitter if you want the cables to go to something other than two single DIN devices stacked in a double DIN case.

If you are buying a head unit that uses a separate HD radio module then this cable is a must have. With this cable you will have trouble switching analog and digital signals. This cable is also required if you want to use the almost non-existent MSN Direct service available on some high-end head units. All in all, there's a lot of good stuff here at Revain.

The quality is sufficient and the performance is acceptable (for the price). The only thing I doubt and recommend to others is the ratio of the length of the leash to the length of the collar. I could do this for my setup, but if I were to "do it whole" I'd look for an option with a longer yoke and shorter pitch. But this "ratio" may be the opposite for you, keep this in mind.

Two stereos and an antenna can be a problem. This is exactly the adapter you need to solve this problem easily. It was just what I needed to add another stereo system to my RV and use the existing antenna. I connected a plug wire to the back of the standard stereo, connected the antenna plug wire to the female wire, and ran an extension cord from the left plug wire to the new stereo. Problem solved.

This is my second time buying a Y connector. I left the first one in my previous RV rather than ripping apart the dash knowing I could just buy another if I move to a different RV. The first was sold by Revain and it was the same as the picture. This one looks like someone just went to the Radio Shack, bought the parts and assembled them in their basement. If this thing lasts 1 year and doesn't fall apart I'll be VERY SURPRISED! For $5 you shouldn't return, so BUYER BEWARE!

This splitter cable is used in my classic car to connect my only antenna to both my classic tube AM radio and my modern hidden car radio radio to connect receiver. It does a great job and both radios work well. If you do, don't forget to pick up Classic Am Radio. Peak is when you match the antenna to the radio for better reception. Usually there is a trimmer capacitor with an adjustable screwdriver or small shank that you twist to get the maximum signal. Typically you do this with the radio…

I bought a HD portable radio to use in the car or at home. I felt the best way to connect the antenna in my car was to split the antenna into the car radio so I could also connect it to my HD portable radio. I bought this Y adapter before I got the HD radio in mail. I have a 2010 Ford Taurus and when I tried to hook up an HD radio I found that I had to almost completely disassemble the dash just to connect this Y adapter to the antenna cable. I gave it up. The Y adapter looks very well built…
