Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the ST27AA08 and the ST27AA14?

Both are amplified antenna adaptors, but they use different connector formats. The ST27AA08 converts a Euro male connector to a DIN male plug — suited to older Audi, VW, and Alfa Romeo models with the standard Euro antenna connector. The ST27AA14 converts a Fakra male connector to a DIN male plug — suited to newer European vehicles with Fakra antenna connectors. For the Audi A3 8P specifically, early models use the ST27AA08 and late models with a single Fakra connector use the ST27AA14.

Does the ST27AA08 fit the Alfa Romeo 159 from 2005?

No — only 2006 onwards. The Alfa Romeo 159 (939) requires the ST27AA08 for 2006 and later model years. If your 159 is a 2005 model, confirm with the F.A.E. team which adaptor applies before purchasing.

How do I know if my Audi A3 8P has the Euro or Fakra connector?

Early Audi A3 8P models (2004–2013) used a standard Euro antenna connector — these use the ST27AA08. Later production models switched to a single Fakra connector — these require the ST27AA14. If you are unsure which connector your A3 has, confirm with the F.A.E. team before ordering.

Is this a plug-and-play adaptor?

Yes. The ST27AA08 connects directly to the factory Euro male antenna connector without cutting or modifying the factory wiring.

Do I need this adaptor if I already have an ISO wiring harness?

Yes, in most cases. An ISO wiring harness handles the power and audio wiring connections. The antenna adaptor is a separate requirement — it handles only the antenna signal cable. Both are typically needed for a complete head unit installation.
