InCarTec 21-037 Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the product details for the 21-037 FAKRA to SMB antenna adapter. This adapter is designed to connect your car's DAB antenna to an aftermarket radio. The document outlines the installation steps, compatible vehicle manufacturers and troubleshooting for poor reception. I'm ready to answer any specific questions about the adapter or its use.
  • What is the purpose of this antenna adapter?
    What color is the FAKRA connector?
    Is this adapter suitable for FM/AM aerials?
    What should I do if I have poor DAB reception after installation?
Installation
1. Connect the blue FAKRA connector to the original yellow or black DAB antenna connection in the car.
2. Connect the SMB aerial connection to the back of the after market radio.
This antenna adapter is suitable for a variety of
vehicles with a single FAKRA connection for
the original DAB antenna.
The FAKRA connector colour can vary but
is usually black, grey, brown or white.
Compatible with various vehicle models of the
following manufacturers:
Abarth, Dacia, Holden, Hyundai, Jeep, Kia, MAN,
MG, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Renault, Seat, Skoda,
Suzuki, Vauxhall/Opel and Volkswagen.
PLEASE NOTE: Not suitable for FM/AM aerials
Trouble Shooting
I have poor DAB reception
The Fakra may be connected to the wrong connection in the car. The FAKRA connector colour can vary by
vehicle manufacturer but is usually black, grey, brown or white.
Was the DAB reception poor with the original radio? This makes it more likely to be the antenna that is at
fault rather than the new radio or the antenna adapter.
