Frequently Asked Questions

What does "amplified" mean for this antenna adaptor?

The ST27AA14 contains a built-in signal amplifier that actively boosts the antenna signal before passing it to the aftermarket head unit. This compensates for signal loss that can occur through the Fakra connector conversion and helps maintain strong AM/FM reception — particularly beneficial in areas with weaker broadcast signals.

Is the BMW Mini R50 compatible, and is there a special installation note?

Yes, the BMW Mini R50 (2002–2006) is on the compatibility list, but there is a critical installation note: do not connect the ST27AA14 power wire on this vehicle. Leave the power wire unplugged. Connecting power on the Mini R50 may cause damage — follow this instruction carefully.

Does this adaptor suit all Holden Colorado RG models?

No. The ST27AA14 is required for Holden Colorado RG (2014–2016) MyLink models only. Non-MyLink Colorado RG variants use a different antenna connector configuration. Confirm your Colorado has the MyLink infotainment system before ordering.

Is this a plug-and-play adaptor?

Yes at the vehicle end — the Fakra male connector connects directly to the factory antenna socket 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.
