Android RNS Clone - Aerial Fakra Question
« on: June 18, 2017, 07:04:10 pm »
Just fitted a RNS Clone to the car yesterday but zero radio signal. Seems to be 3 aerial cables. White head, brown and blue. The unit only has one connection.

From some searches I've gathered it's a diversity aerial with 2 feeds.

Will a double fakra adapter cure this or do I need to have the blue cable soldered to provide a 12v feed?

Thanks :)

I got in contact with celsus and they've fired back an email with the following suggestion:

https://www.driveden.com/car-audio-tech-c188/leads-fittings-c300/dual-fakra-with-diversity-to-din-aerial-adaptor-p79539

https://www.driveden.com/car-audio-tech-c188/leads-fittings-c300/female-fakra-to-female-din-aerial-adaptor-p79552

They suggested the pair of these connected via the DIN.
I'm debating ordering the pair to connect my diversity antenna to the single FAKRA input too. Though I don't have an amplified version so no 12v to consider...

Wouldn't put 12V near any aerial connections  :scared:

Blue is Sat Nav so ignore for radio

White and brown are FM / AM connections
One roof & other rear glass

They go to diversity under drivers seat.
Get double male each end to bypass this and disconnect power

behind radio -  get two to single adaptor

Any adaptor with a 12V feed and canister, would avoid.  just a gimmick
