, 2 min read
Have you bought a new radio and want to install it in your Volkswagen, Audi, Seat, or Skoda, but the plug doesn't fit? Then you are probably dealing with the fact that your car's connection does not match that of the radio. Fortunately, there is a simple solution for this: the Quadlock adapter CTX-3401, also known as the MIB adapter.
When do you need this adapter?
More and more cars from Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, and Seat are equipped with a new type of Quadlock connector, also known as the MIB connector. It looks almost the same on the outside but has a different pin layout and two thicker connections for power.
Many new car radios. Also Android and CarPlay -systems. Still use the standard old Quadlock connector. Because of this, you cannot connect the radio directly to the car's plug.
The Quadlock adapter CTX-3401 ensures that you can still connect a new radio, even if your car has this new type of plug. With this cable, you essentially convert the new plug from the car to the old standard. This way, everything fits perfectly.

The adapter is fully Plug & Play, so you don't need to modify or solder anything. The built-in Canbus wires ensure that original functions, such as steering wheel controls or lighting, continue to work as you are used to.
✅ Suitable for Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat
✅ Makes the new car plug compatible with older radio connections
✅ Preservation of original functions thanks to Canbus
