Stinger ST27AA01 Euro Female to Standard DIN Male Antenna Adaptor for BMW Mercedes Ford Holden Fiat Porsche and More
The ST27AA01 from Stinger is a Euro female to standard DIN male antenna adaptor providing high quality conversion of a Euro plug to a standard DIN connection. Confirmed for a broad range of European and Australian-market vehicles including BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Holden, Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, Porsche, Volvo, Smart, Land Rover, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Renault, Iveco, and more. Note that for the BMW 3 Series E46, this adaptor suits 1997 to 2001 models only. The 2002 to 2005 E46 requires the ST27AA06 instead.
Product overview
Many European and Australian-market vehicles use a Euro-style female antenna connector rather than the standard DIN plug found on most aftermarket head units. The ST27AA01 bridges that gap, converting the vehicle's Euro female antenna connection to a standard DIN male output so an aftermarket head unit connects cleanly without antenna modification.
The ST27AA01 covers a wide range of makes and models across multiple decades of production. One important model-specific restriction applies: for the BMW 3 Series including M3 on the E46 chassis (1997 to 2005), this adaptor suits 1997 to 2001 build years only. E46 models from 2002 to 2005 require the ST27AA06 instead. Confirm your specific vehicle, chassis code, and build year against the compatibility table before ordering.
Features and benefits
Euro female to standard DIN male conversion: Converts the vehicle's Euro-style female antenna connector to a standard DIN male output, allowing direct connection to standard aftermarket head unit antenna inputs without cutting or modifying factory wiring.
High quality construction: Provides reliable antenna signal conversion for consistent reception quality after head unit replacement.
Broad multi-make vehicle coverage: Confirmed fitment across BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Holden, Fiat, Citroen, Peugeot, Porsche, Volvo, Smart, Land Rover, Jaguar, Alfa Romeo, Renault, and Iveco spanning production years from 1993 to 2019.
BMW 3 Series E46 fitment restriction: For the BMW 3 Series including M3 on the E46 chassis, this adaptor suits 1997 to 2001 models only. The ST27AA06 is the correct adaptor for 2002 to 2005 E46 models. Confirm your E46 build year before ordering.
