Frequently Asked Questions

What is the bare coaxial cable end and what do I need to connect to it?

The STAAFKM terminates in a bare coaxial cable rather than a pre-fitted plug. A male video RCA connector must be crimped or soldered to this bare end before connecting to your aftermarket device. The RCA connector is not included — source it separately or have it fitted by an installer.

What is a Fakra connector?

Fakra is a standardised automotive RF connector system used in many European vehicles — including Mercedes-Benz — for antenna, DAB, and other RF connections. It is not directly compatible with standard DIN, RCA, or other common aftermarket antenna plugs without an adaptor.

Is the RCA connector included?

No. The male video RCA connector required at the bare cable end is not included with the STAAFKM and must be purchased separately.

Is this adaptor plug-and-play at the vehicle end?

Yes. The Fakra male connector at the vehicle end connects directly to the factory antenna socket without cutting or modifying the factory wiring. The bare coaxial end requires a male RCA connector to be fitted before use.

How does the STAAFKM differ from the STAAFKRCA?

The STAAFKRCA converts a Fakra female connector directly to an RCA female output — a complete plug-to-plug solution. The STAAFKM converts a Fakra male connector to a bare coaxial cable end that requires an additional RCA connector to be fitted. Both serve different connector orientations and installation requirements.
