This head unit fitting kit includes:

Fakra to DIN antenna adapter cable (21-106)

Male Fakra to Male DIN antenna adapter cable. This cable adapts from a Farka antenna connection at the back of the cars original radio to a standard aftermarket DIN antenna connection to allow the fitting of an aftermarket radio upgrade. This is a passive adapter cable, not suitable for cars that need a phantom power supply to turn on the antenna amplifier.

Steering wheel control interface (29-UC-050-BMW)

Steering wheel control interface and adapter cable for various BMW and Mini cars to fit an aftermarket radio upgrade.

The cable adapts from the Quadlock connector in the car to standard ISO aftermarket ISO connectors. This replaces the need for a separate ISO radio replacement adapter cable.

The CANbus steering wheel control interface is built in to the adapter cable for a plug and play installation.

This interface will allow the original audio control buttons on the steering wheel to work with the new aftermarket radio. The interface will work the volume, track skip, source and phone buttons.

The CANbus interface will also provide CANbus key present ignition, illumination, speed pulse, reverse gear and handbrake outputs.

A key present ignition means the stereo will turn on with the first click of the key and stay on until the key is removed from the ignition barrel.

Compatibility Notes

Some BMW cars go into Eco mode and the +12V supply to the radio drops causing the memory of the new radio to be lost, these cars will need a power supply directly from the battery to be supplied.
