In addition, the radio antenna uses a FAKRA connector, which is incompatible with standard aftermarket radios. It is therefore necessary to use a FAKRA to DIN or DAB adapter to ensure a simple installation without any modifications.<br>The FAKRA connector is now found on a wide range of agricultural machines. To connect a radio without altering the original wiring harness, the use of a suitable harness is essential. With this in mind, AMS has developed an adapter: the FID660.     <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile has-white-background-color
