Hey gants, I have a 2005 Cayenne turbo with bose. It uses the Fakra antenna plugs just like all the current VW/Audi's however it has two of them. I need to work out an iPod input. Now I have an RF modulator rolling around in the bottom of my tool box, but I am at a bit of a loss as to how to interface it with 2 antenna connections. Do I just use one and the radio will automaticly use the better signal side? do I need to Y cable down to one, thru the RF moduator, then Y back to two to plug into the radio? Someone here must have dealt with this, but google is getting me nowhere. Anyone got any idea's?

And yes, I know an RF sucks, I'll be going for an app radio at some point in the next few months, but Im just hoping to find an easy solution to keep me sane for a while. Just radio and a CD player is killing me.I don't even own any cd's anymore. Ive been driving around with earbuds in. Help!!

I have done it before and a couple of VW's. One of them should work for the fm modulator. All I did was turn the radio on and tested each one. The one that gave the radio the best reception for fm was the one I used.

I used metra antenna adapters 40-eu10 and 40-eu20.
