40EU56

The Metra 40-EU56 is a powered European dual Fakra antenna adapter engineered for select 2005+ European vehicles equipped with amplified dual antenna systems. Designed for aftermarket radio installations, this adapter retains factory AM/FM antenna functionality while converting the factory dual Fakra antenna connection to the standard Motorola-style plug used by aftermarket multimedia radios.

Built with integrated powered antenna retention circuitry, the 40-EU56 helps maintain proper antenna amplifier operation in vehicles using amplified factory antenna systems. This ensures stronger AM/FM reception after upgrading to Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, navigation, and touchscreen multimedia systems.
