Worse reception - returned

The reception with this block was worse than without it. Unfortunately my car has poor reception and losing more signal wasn't good. Gave the money back.

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things

fits CTS 2003-2007 stock radios

Despite the fact that I have a GM car (2003 Cadillac CTS), a German made head unit and this adapter did the job. A small piece of metal was exposed after connecting the secondary antenna, so I wrapped the exposed metal with an electric tap and there was no white noise. Fits perfectly, works as described.

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • No power

I'm sure it works great in the right context

I don't want to attack the quality of the manufacturer's product: I'm sure it works great in the right context but didn't fit 1989 Mercedes W126 OEM antenna connector and although they advertise it, this is a problem. Even if the product photos on the Revain AND Metra website were a bit more complete, I would not have bought it and therefore would not have left a 1 star review.

Pros
  • Fits many
Cons
  • Some difficulties
