Description


Metra brand icon

Authorized dealer

This Antenna Adaptor fits many European vehicles, including the new 2008-up SMART fortwo/451 and allows AM/FM radio when installing an after market car stereo. The adapter allows you to replace the factory stereo with any after market radio and receive AM/FM signals as the factory antenna adapter is not the standard after market size. Installation is straight forward and simple. If you are planning on changing the radio in your VW/Mercedes/BMW/SMART car, this Antenna Adaptor is typically required.

Works good!

You will need this adapter for a 2004 pontiac bonneville! You will also need the PAC C2R-GM32R for the wiring harness! The cheap one will not work!

Works great for Smart Cars

I have a 2009 Smart. I needed an antenna adapter and this model fit perfectly. I get great reception. The price beats what I can find on Ebay too.

Worked Well in Pontiac 2001 Bonneville

Very reasonably priced, and did its job with no hassle!

on an semi-related note, anyone having trouble installing a new head unit in a 2001 Bonneville, if you got the cheap wire harness, then you will have to directly wire the "accessory power/ignition power" to something else, as the computer controls the accessory power in this car. The red wire on the harness wont work without a special module, (or you can connect on of the 12v constant wires (yellow) on the harness to the red on the headunit, but it will stay on even when the cars off, but good for testing). I tapped into my cigarette lighter, which is a half-a55 way of doing it.
