Antenna feeders - power supply for active car antennas with amplifier Aunika
The antenna power supply has been used mainly in vehicles manufactured by the Volkswagen Group (VW, Škoda, Audi, Seat) since 1998. Original car radios have a special phantom antenna power supply built in, but new aftermarket car radios do not. Therefore, if we want the amplifier in the antenna to work, we need to purchase a power supply that will solve the problem with the car antenna power supply. This is a so-called phantom power supply, i.e., via coaxial cable. There are several types of antenna power supplies, but the most commonly used are the basic ISO-DIN and FAKRA-DIN. The antenna power supply is connected between the new car radio and the antenna connector in the car. The antenna power supply always has a blue switching cable that connects to the switched positive on the opposite side of the ISO connector, usually position No. 5, blue or blue-white cable.
