This complete stereo fitting kit includes a high-quality VW Transporter T6.1 double DIN fascia, Fakra DAB and DIN aerial adapters, and a fully integrated steering wheel control interface. The Car Audio Steering Wheel Interface retains full functionality of your original factory buttons and vehicle menus, even after installing an aftermarket stereo. It also offers optional inputs for reversing camera and parking sensors (where applicable), plus outputs for park brake, speed pulse, reverse gear, and mute. Whether you’re enhancing audio, adding smartphone connectivity, or keeping OEM controls intact, this all-in-one upgrade package is the ideal solution for VW T6.1 owners seeking performance, style, and seamless integration.

This complete head unit fitting kit includes:

Fakra DAB male to DAB SMB female antenna adapter (21-037)

Use to convert the original (Fakra DAB) antenna connector in a car to a female SMB (used on aftermarket head-units)

Double Fakra to DIN antenna adapter cable (21-139)

This cable converts the original antenna connector in the car, known as a Double Fakra connector, to a standard aftermarket antenna connector, known as a DIN connector.

The adapter cable has a built in module which provides a phantom power feed to the original antenna in the car. A phantom power feed is a 12v power supply that is sent up the centre wire of the antenna cable, this powers the amplifier built into the original antenna. The antenna adapter cable has a loose wire which needs to be connected to the 12v antenna power output of the new aftermarket stereo.

The phantom power feed terminates in a junior timer receptacle terminal to make it easy to connect into the electric antenna turn on position of a standard ISO connector. We also have this part available with a male bullet connector to make the phantom power lead easier to connect to ISO cables and steering wheel control interfaces with a female bullet connection for the electric antenna turn on, the 21-139K.

Steering wheel control Infoadapter interface (29-CTUVW04)

Car Audio Steering wheel interface allowing use of original buttons with a new aftermarket head-unit.

This interface allows the use of the Steering Wheel audio controls, as well retaining the vehicle menus when installing an aftermarket head unit.
