Converts the factory Fakra female antenna connector to a standard RCA female output suits the Mercedes M Class W164, Mercedes Vito W447, and Volkswagen Transporter T6 when connecting to aftermarket head units or DAB tuners with RCA antenna inputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fakra connector?

Fakra is a standardised automotive RF connector system commonly used in European vehicles — particularly Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen Group, and other European brands — for antenna, DAB, and GPS connections. It is not compatible with standard DIN or RCA antenna plugs without an adaptor.

Why does my head unit need an RCA antenna input?

Some aftermarket head units, DAB tuners, and multimedia receivers use an RCA-type input for their antenna connection rather than the more common DIN or SMB connectors. The STAAFKRCA bridges the gap between the factory Fakra antenna cable and an RCA antenna input on the aftermarket device.

Is this adaptor plug-and-play?

Yes. The STAAFKRCA connects directly to the factory Fakra antenna connector in the vehicle without cutting or modifying the factory wiring.

Does this adaptor work for FM/AM and DAB signals?

The STAAFKRCA is an antenna signal adaptor — it passes the antenna signal through from the factory connector to the RCA output. Whether it supports FM/AM, DAB, or both depends on your vehicle's factory antenna and the connected aftermarket device. Confirm compatibility with the F.A.E. team if required.

Is this adaptor compatible with all Mercedes and Volkswagen vehicles?

No. The STAAFKRCA is specified for the Mercedes M Class W164, Mercedes Vito W447, and VW Transporter T6 only. Other Mercedes or VW models may use different Fakra or DIN connector configurations — contact the F.A.E. team to confirm the correct adaptor for your vehicle.
