  • Metra adapter ensures proper signal communication

What this adapter connects

The Metra Female Motorola to European Radio Antenna Adapter Cable links a universal antenna plug to a European factory radio that uses a mini-style connector. It lets the original antenna feed reach an aftermarket head unit or restores the factory connection when the original cable is missing or damaged. Installers and DIY owners use it to keep AM and FM reception working after a stereo swap.

What to verify before ordering

Confirm that the vehicle’s existing antenna lead ends in a standard Motorola male plug and that the radio’s antenna socket accepts the European mini-style male pin. The adapter does not convert amplified or diversity antenna systems, so powered mast or shark-fin setups may need a separate interface. No tools are required beyond unplugging and reconnecting the coaxial leads.

What the cable changes

The short coaxial tail with moulded connectors eliminates the need to cut, crimp or solder the factory harness. Its fixed length keeps the signal path direct, reducing the chance of loose connections behind the dash. Because it is a passive straight-through adapter, it adds no signal processing or power requirements to the installation.

Questions about this item

Does the package include any additional connectors or tools, or must I source them separately?

The package contains only the Metra Female Motorola to European Radio Antenna Adapter Cable itself; no extra connectors, mounting hardware, or installation tools are included, so any additional items required for your specific head unit or vehicle must be purchased separately.

Which version of this adapter should I choose for a European factory radio with a mini-style antenna plug?

This single adapter is designed specifically for European factory radios that use a mini-style antenna plug, converting the female Motorola connector on the vehicle side to that mini plug; no alternative versions or capacity options exist for this product.

What does the female Motorola to mini-style plug conversion actually achieve once the cable is fitted in the car?

It bridges the vehicle's standard Motorola antenna socket to the smaller European factory radio input, allowing the original antenna signal to reach the new head unit without signal loss or the need to cut or splice the factory wiring.
