Q
I purchased an antenna adapter to be installed with a Pioneer double din FH52BT. Instructions say attach the adapter wire to antenna lead. Now on this 2007 vw golf gti the Pioneer harness has no BLUE wire. It only has the Blue with White Stripe. What wire do I connect this lead to?

Q
How much current does this booster draw? The remote turn on wire from my head unit is good up to 300 milliamps. I was also wanting to use my remote turn on wire for 2 amplifiers.

We don't have the exact measurement but you should be fine with 300 mA. The antenna is not going to draw more than 50 mA in all likelihood. If you have a mulit-meter you can test it though.

I'm purchasing the Alpine ILX-W650 to install in my 2015 Chev Sonic. Do I need to purchase the antenna adaptor in order to use my OEM antenna?

Hi Roger, thanks for your question! You will need to use the Metra Antenna adapter (40-EU55), in order to retain the use of your OEM antenna and AM / FM radio frequencies. Chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, if we can help!
