Do The Aerial Antenna FM / AM to DAB Splitter / Adapter Actually Work? 4K
In this Video, I test to see whether these adapters actually work and more importantly whether it will work with a powered electric metal retractable antenna like you see on many older vehicles such as Mercedes, Honda, Toyota and Nissan for example. This could be a great addition to your car if you want a DAB radio in your car but don't want a aftermarket antenna.

Thank you very much for the compliment, you're welcome, I'm surprised no one else has ever shown these working.
I've just paid £13 on Amazon for exactly the same thing. 😒 Not arrived yet. Looking forward to fitting to see if it works. Thank you for making this video. You've inspired some hope that might just work and save me sticking a weird DAB antenna on the windscreen.

You're very welcome, hopefully it will work for you too, it's definitely better than the windscreen antennas as keeps everything hidden.

I didn’t realise the model I bought comes with an SMB male connector and my DAB USB module has a SMA female connector. So, I had to order an adapter and it’s delayed the whole thing by another day. 🤣 Something folks should watch out for to avoid unexpected delays.

Maybe noise cancelling mic 🎤 and more clear slow speaking will help. Good video thanks
Hey mate can I ask did you wire the red power wire to the head unit wire labeled antenna power or did you wire it directly into the power cable to the harness? I’ve currently got mine connected via the antenna power wire as my FM reception was shocking without this unit Now I have it and it’s great Only issue is the DAB doesn’t seem to be working Any ideas?

For the purpose of the video I just pushed the wire in the switched power lead connector, the antenna out wire will work fine too as that should output 12v. At least it's helped the FM reception, is the FM antenna an amplified one or not and does the adapter you have require a amplified or non amplified antenna? Or might just be a faulty adapter.
it wasn't flipping plugged in, what a waste of time !

I believe it was plugged in and it was tested as it received the signal from the antenna and converted it to dab, unless you mean the antenna connection?
😂😂😂😂
