Great replacement

Used in my Saab 9-5 as a replacement for one that I had purchased from another online retailer. The old one kept on giving me a bad connection. since it was a longer flexible version of this connector. This one worked out really good and at a great price.

required interface for European cars

As the products is an antenna adapter which you do need to receive radio signals there is not much to write about. Works as intended and no brainer to install.

Worked Perfect

Used this for a Mercedes W202 application as an adapter from stock antenna input to aftermarket stereo. Was all I needed and works perfect. I travel across the province most weekends and I've noticed the radio signal seems to be exactly the same as it was on the stock head unit.
