Scosche VWA3 / VWA3B Antenna Adapter for my Mini Cooper R50

This product worked as advertised. It simply joins the end of my car's Antennae cable to my audio deck.

Not Satisfied with product.

I wouldn't recommend this product for a 2008 Charger. The connectors don't necessarily fit snug. I can only get a few radio stations after connecting this antenna adaptor. This product might work with other vehicles, but it didn't work with mine.

Good price, good product

I needed an antenna adapter to hook my '04 Chrysler Crossfire up to an upgraded head.
Free shipping - arrived within a few days and worked perfectly.

No good for Dodge...

Talk about a snug fit. Got this for my son's 2012 Avenger. Had to use channel locks to insert it into the factory connector. It says it's for BMW/VW but when you search Scosche's site this is the one they recommend.
No AM and FM reception is not that great. I don't think its making a good electrical connection.
Sonic needs to check fitment before showing this as a fit for this vehicle.

Excellent price!

The items were exactly as advertised and fit/function was perfect. Great alternative to more costly solutions.

What Scosche does best.

Solid product , works flawlessly. When it comes to adapters Scosche is the best.

Loud and Clear

Does its job there is not many places I don't get reception. Plug and play. Perfect for my vehicle.

Required

This adapter was the exact item I needed to install my radio. it was a tight fit into the factory cable but still worked fine.

Antenna adapter for 2010 camaro

Works perfect and a must have for swapping to an aftermarket stereo head unit in 2010 Camaro.

Work for SAAB

Works with my 05 Saab 9-3, if your unsure it will work with your Saab just compare the end with the antenna plug on the back of the CD player

Great value

I got my radio installed by a specialized garage and this component fit perfectly on a BMW Z3 y rear 2000.

Adapters!

This adapter makes life easy. Definitely get one. I cant think of any thing bad to say. It works as it should.

Great product!!

This product made the installation of my new stereo so easy and simple, great company with great products would highly recommend them to everyone!!!!

Great

Fantastic. Highly recommend it.

Works fine

Easy to splice and follow. Wire colors were clear. Plastic was clean of burrs and fit correctly. No problems with installation.

Works great with the stock wiring

Got this for my '98 BMW 328is with the HK system and stock amp. Works just as described and was a quick install. I just shortened the wires since there was a little too much between this and the head units wires. Been working great for a month now.

Just Works

Does everything it is supposed to do. Fitting it in my 1995 BMW 318ti was not too bad. I found a place to tuck the harness away to the left side of the head unit.

Works Great

I used this product during my install of a Jensen VM9313 with the digital radio module. It installed easily and works flawlessly.

Works great

it really made it easy to install my HU.

Easy install

The adapter made installation of my new radio a much easier task. It does make it a little more of a challenge to stuff all the wiring back into the cavity area behind the radio on a '98 bimmer. No cutting of the stock wiring is always a good thing if you can avoid it and this adapter is the trick.

Did not end up using adapter in my installation

As the title says, i did not end up using this adapter during my installation of my new head unit, which replaced my original, but having said that, have used it in the past on different car applications, and works prefectly by making male end female, and making female end male, enabling the connection to be made from car antenna to aftermarket without a problem.

order this harness for the kenwood stereo got what i needit right away from sonic

i have to let you people know that i have dealt with the customer service from sonic electronix and they have been more than helpful on getting the questions answered and the merchandise to the customer. very happy with their professionalism and expertise.. keep up the good work.

works!

Umm yeah you need this! so get it now!
It works would recommend.

Wires in the harness are loose and cause distortion on bumps

The harness fit well to my deck, but the actual wires in the harness are extremely loose, and when i go over a bump, my music cuts off for just a quick moment, i'm attributing it to the loose wires in the harness. They should be quite fixed in the harness and they're not. I would suggest the company to create a more sturdy version

By Shariff on April 20, 2015 Verified purchase

Does the job, if you really need it.

If you might someday reinstall the factory unit back into your BMW then you should use this. Is your particular car so rare, is your new head unit so expensive that you might reinstall the factory unit?

This is a very large connector and is only one half of the connector. It takes up at least two square inches behind your new head unit. Valuable real estate in such a finite area of space.
Am I saying that you might be better off soldering or crimping the wires together? I am, if the first paragraph doesn't apply to your car.
I used it in my car this time and it cost me much time and effort. I will not be using it in my next install though.

accessories for car stereo

Very happy with service - I would have forgotten this necessary item, if it were not for the quality of service from the seller.

Works on my 2004 GTO

Works as expected on my 2004 Pontiac GTO with AVH-P4200DVD headunit. Very simple product - but works 100%.

A must Have

Save your sanity. This is a plug and play after you the connect to your new radio harness.

pioneer

The best I eva bought and I love it too death

very happy

Pretty straight forward. Plug this into the deck. Plug the antenna into the other end -- that's it. Bob's your uncle. Easy as falling down a well but not half as dangerous.

Good product!

This adapter plugs into the new car stereo allowing the use of the original VW antenna.

Works, no problems, no complaints!

This item fit our '03 Passat wiring perfectly. No issues of any kind.

great antenna adapter for vw/audi/ford focus

this antenna adapter is great it is very small and make install a breeze since there is no extra wire to find a place for, since in some vw/audis there is not a lot of room behind the radio.

Works in my truck

Installed it in my 2012 Ram along with a new touchscreen jvc. Fyi u have to buy a seperate module to get your stock sat radio reception

antena adapter plug review

it works perfect plus it was free with my other purchases!!!

good value

works great and easy to install.

Works Great!

Works perfectly on my 2002 Saab. Radio is crystal clear through this converter.

Worked Great.

Got this for free with my Sony head unit. Installed it in my 1995 BMW 318ti with no issues. It is compact so it fits nicely into the dash.

Works

The antenna adapter fit my 2010 Challenger and made the radio installation painless. Thanks Sonic

Does not fit very snugly

It works fine but does not have a very tight fit. So I had to use a bunch of electrical tape to get it to secure it.

Antenna adapter

this works well to adapt the antenna to the aftermarket stereo

Scosche VWA3 / VWA3B

Easy to use. Gave a good length to work with. And fit snug on both ends.

works

works as it should. was really tight fit. had to use pliers to get in. good luck ever getting out

Fits perfect

This product works like it should and never shorts out. Definitely recommend.

Very Happy

I am very happy with the service provided by these guys would love to deal with them again.

Works Juuust Fine

My Mom had been convinced she needed new speakers or maybe that her antennae was bad, but a new stereo properly connected with this showed that her wiring and speakers were fine :D

Great Product

Easy to install and great functionality

perfect

This antenna adapter lined right up with my aftermarker radio.

works on my 2004 GTO

Simple and easy to use product that works 100% on my Pioneer AVH-P4200DVD in my 04 Pontiac GTO

Adapter

you plug it into your radio and the antenna cable into it, donezo. Sonic Electronics does a good job of including everything you need.

Works

Works great and very easy to install with out any problems or issues

By Jason on April 26, 2015 Verified purchase

Good value, but be careful

This harness is nice and it is convenient, however, if you have a stock amp in your system this harness doesnt wire it correctly. You have to connect the antenna wire on this harness to the amp wire on the cd player.

Great product

excellent product buy it now if you need this for your system

Wires are little loose

Wires are little loose and the did came out of the seat. I had to squish them in to avoid miss connection.

BMW adapter

Works great! nothing like begin able to just wire the radio to the adapter and plug it right into he car! If you are doing a BMW make sure you buy he antenna adapter.

Definitely a must have piece when putting a non OEM radio in a BMW, or any other car for that matter.

Good Product

I've been using product for about 6 months now and it's worked flawlessly, I got it at a good price and shipping was quick and price was reasonable. Thanks

Works exactly as expected

Installed in a 2001 E46 BMW 325i.

Easy to solder and distinguish the correct colours. Wires come pre-cut avoiding the hassle of de-shielding them yourself. Highly recommended.

Antenna Adapter

This seemed to work well. It installed easily and fit well. The new radio doesn't get as good reception as the OEM and I wonder if there might be anything in the adapter that could affect reception.

No issues. Fitment was perfect. The only issue (not related to the product) was determining which was radio source and which was Sirius source.

By Paul on March 10, 2020 Verified purchase

Scosche VWA3 / VWA3B

Absolute necessity to adapt the antenna in your Wrangler to an aftermarket stereo.

This is the right part for an easy install. I definitely recomend it.

Awesome

Simple to use just plug and go. Side note my original head unit had two antennas and there is a particular radio station that I can not get in.

By Josey on August 8, 2020 Verified purchase

Works OK but could be better

Vehicle: 2002 BMW 330i
Works OK stock but a bit bulky. I had to get key-hold saw to remove a rear plastic brace to get my new stereo (Pioeneer DEH-P5200HD) to fit. Also, if you're going to enable your steering wheel controls by adding the Axxess ASWC (which works great by the way) then you'll need to relocate the orange pin. It designated for illumination brightness control but most radios will ignore it. Instead you need to move the pin to an adjacent hole in order to pick up the steering wheel control signals (see the pinout in Axxess ASWC instruction sheet). I used pliers to yank the pin out and then put it back in the right hole.

Good seller!

They are sent it with receiver JVC KD-AR765S for my 2001 BMW 323 e46.

By thomas0n on December 14, 2015 Verified purchase

Scosche BW01B

Perfect fit for my car and all the speakers and lights work like OEM.

Great

Works great in my BMW 330Ci. I recommend.

Scosche BW01B

PERFECT!! I remember when you had to trace and test every single wire in your car / cut and label every wire on the new radio then hope you got everything right! Yes I’ve been installing radios since 8 Tracks were replaced by cassette tapes! Therefor I can say with experience, this pigtale is a PERFECT MATCH FOR my application on a 97 328is convertible! No questions on wires or comparability ! Sonic did a great job painting this with my car and radio purchase. They took all the guess work out and replaces it with plug & play ease! Thanks Sonic!! I’ll be back for my other BMW Audio upgrades ASAP!

Great unit

Both this unit for my 2015 Nissan Altima S. I was really apprehensive about spending so much on this unit, but it came with several features that I desired and overall I am very satisfied with the unit. It is worth every penny.

First, the unit came with physical buttons for reaching the home menu, adjusting the volume, and switching stations/songs. While I use the steering wheel controls while driving my vehicle, I tend to use interface buttons when parked or going through a drive-thru as they offer much greater response time than the steering wheel buttons.

Second, the unit came with Apple CarPlay which allowed for greater integration with my iPhone. It also supports Android as well. The unit also comes with a USB extension cord so don't go out and buy one like I did (although I prefer the one I bought as it looks more factory). This allows for easier integration with your phone of choice.

Originally, I purchased a different unit for my car and I later returned it because it did not allow me to play music and access other menus at the same time; ie, having a favorite song play while in the EQ menu to adjust sound quality. This Sony unit allows such capabilities.

The GUI is very clean and simple, very easy to use without even having to read the manual. I was able to find my way around the settings and adjust the settings accordingly with no problems whatsoever. The switch from the Sony GUI to the iOS is fluid, quick, and seamless.

On starting the car, it takes roughly 15 to 20 seconds for the unit to enter ready mode. For me, this is not an inconvenience as this is usually how long it takes me to get settled; seat belt on, phone connected, etc.

The touch screen is very responsive to the touch. I noticed that I need to be careful when selecting radio stations as keeping my finger on the station icon for a split second too long will cause it to unintentionally save said station as a 'favorite." I am not sure if this due to the programming delay or my carelessness. Otherwise, I have no problems with the display recognizing my finger tapping it.

There is an option for rear view camera and this can be disabled in the settings menu if you do not have a rearview camera. There is also options for connecting via bluetooth (which I have not tried) and regular USB (which I also have not tried). There is no CD slot, so this unit cannot play CDs. This doesn't bother me as all my music is on my phone. There are plenty of ports for subwoofers and additional components as well.

The only thing I don't like, and this is very minor dislike, is the "for your safety" message that appears each time the unit is started. It requires you to tap "ok" to clear. I haven't researched if this has been removed in a current firmware update or if there is a workaround.

Awesome radio that still include as volume knob!

Great radio that includes both CarPlay and Android Auto. If you are a family with split phone type, anyone can use this radio with ease (it just has to be a wired connection). The only downside is no DVD / CD slot, no AUX input, and only one Subwoofer Preout.

By Christopher on February 2, 2018 Verified purchase

Good product, except every time you turn on your vehicle the message display comes on, very annoying.

Great value for your money, downside that's not have a C D player, first display comes on every time you turn your vehicle on... very annoying.

By Angel on August 10, 2017 Verified purchase

Excellent Value

This Sony receiver is a great unit. It is very easy to maneuver around in. With the newly released Android Auto version, you can simply talk to it without having to even touch the screen icon or push the voice button. Using only voice command (hands free) you can achieve whatever your phone is capable of. The display is high quality. The backup camera is very good. Sound is great. I would definitely recommend this unit for what I believe is a fair price point given it's abilities.

I've had better

This is a great radio, although the clock does not keep time.

sony xav-ax100

least expesive way to put android auto in your vehicle. 10 band graphic equalizer sounds great - much better sound than the factory unit. hands free calls work and sound great. especially love the android auto!! there is nothing I don't like about this deck.

BMW E46 Owners - Rejoice!

The XAV-AX100 fits an E46 without cutting into the HVAC. I installed in my '04 325xi with no issues. High quality OEM look and feel (better than Kenwood/Pioneer etc.). Works with factory amp and Axxess unit allows use of all steering wheel controls. Bluetooth, CarPlay, hands-free calling all 5 stars. Volume knob a +. The only - is no HD radio. Radio sound quality is average at best and well below the HD Pioneer units I own. But this Sony fits so I'll live with it. If you only stream music/podcasts/apps you won't care much about the radio. Good value. Overall very happy.

By Jeffrey L. on February 17, 2017 Verified purchase

awesome radio

the sony XAV-AX100 Is an awesome radio ! glad i purchased it i was looking at other brands for cheaper price then decided to buy this and im glad i did ! excellent sound and features . the only thing i think they should change is to add a second usb port for your usb drive for mp3's and media . kind of a drawback to unplug it to plug in your phone for android auto with that being said i can only give it 4 stars .other than that nothing bad to say ! i love it !

By douglas on February 14, 2017 Verified purchase

Simply Elegant Head Unit

In three words....it just works.
Simple, effective interface that doesn't "burp" on a large USB memory device. Android Auto works perfectly. Can't say about Apple since I don't have that.

My only nitpicks would be an option to remove the camera overlays altogether and the screen sensitivity to slide right to the settings is slow way too often. Perhaps a firmware update can fix these items.

Great budge Android Auto stereo

A great budget Android Auto stereo. I installed in a '02 Yukon, I didn't even have to cut the dash support since the back of the stereo is single DIN size. The only real downside is the annoying warning screen, the later can be removed thanks to an XDA developer.

Sony is a great value

quick action plus w/ a volume knob great features operates smoothly

Great Sound and Features!

Based on past experience I've been a little hesitant to add after-sale radios, etc. However, this product has changed that. The system was easy to install and the sound is awesome. The display (LCD) is bright and clear. The system works with Apple's CarPlay, which makes the product function just as easily as the system on my wife's car - which was factory installed at a much higher price than I paid for this system. In short, I love the system and the price can't be beat.

Worth every penny

Easy installation in my 07 Chevy Avalanche. Also installed Axxess ASWC1 for steering wheel controls. Unit performed as expected. I have an iphone 6 plus ios 9.3.5 Jailbroken and an HTC One A9 with 7.0. The with the jailbroken iphone NGX Play from cydia I downloaded several more apps whichmakes my experience great. Youtube, google maps, waze, movie box just to name a few. Android Auto is more user friendly with voice commands and google music, spotify, pandora....etc. A 3rd party app AnyAutoAudio allows several more apps to play music but no video capabilities as of yet.
