Worked for 2000 Audi TT
I had a difficult time finding the correct adapter. This one was less expensive than crutchfield. It did what it was supposed to.

This antenna is awesome! I am in sort of a rural area in CT and I get better reception than ever before. I bought an aftermarket android radio for my Audi A4 (2004) and 2 antennas that came with the 2 trim kits for install. Audi and maybe VW (?) radios have 2 antennas and this new radio has one. If moving to a radio with just one you must get this antenna which connects to the LARGER connector. The two that had the smaller connector did NOT work at all. I could have been next to the broadcast and not received a signal! I looked at reviews after being disappointed with the original antenas and this one had some great reviews so I am glad to give my two cents and agree. Good luck!

Don't think it helps much.
When I bought my MK3 Jetta it came with an old Pioneer CD deck and the factory roof mounted antenna. Whenever the car got hot inside (after sitting in the sun all day) the radio would get all staticy to the point where you couldn't listen to it. Pop a CD in and it was fine. I decided to replace the radio, thinking that the head unit was defective, I also wanted bluetooth and music streaming. After trolling various VW Jetta forums I read that Jettas with a roof mount antenna required an antenna amplifier for aftermarket radios, so I purchased this at the same time as my new Scosche SCDBTA60 head unit. I got a little excited when removing the old Pioneer that there was no amplifier in the old installation, thinking that my static issues would finally be solved. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case, and my static issues remain. The good news for me is I don't really care much anymore, since I can now stream Pandora from my phone, and my new radio has an SD card slot, which I've populated with a 32GB SD card filled with almost all of my music, so I only listen to actual radio on my morning commute when it's not very warm yet. So, ack to this Amplified Antenna Adapter... it fits and will allow you to plug the factory antenna into your new aftermarket head unit... but but amplify... I don't think so.

Brought my radio back to life
Bought it to replace the current adapter in my 2007 Audi A3. Day and night difference. Before, I was barely getting reception and it was cutting out so much that it couldn't even get through one song. Just replacing it with this new one fixed my problem. Audio is clear and doesn't cut out at all. I get all my RDS tags since the connection is stellar. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Fantastic product!!
