Converter device for adapting an antenna impedance, comprising a housing for a motor vehicle, and motor vehicle with converter device installed therein

A converter device comprising a housing configured to be installed in a motor vehicle, wherein the housing comprises:

• a conversion path, the conversion path including an impedance converter;
• an electrical input;
• an electrical output;
• an antenna device comprising:
• an active electronic component configured to provide a Bluetooth connection to a Bluetooth-capable device or configured to provide a WLAN connection to a WLAN-capable device;
• an antenna device terminal configured to electrically connect to the antenna device as an antenna device electrical output or an antenna device electrical input;
• and
• a common plug connection element;
• wherein the conversion path connects the electrical input and the electrical output;
• wherein the impedance converter is configured to convert an impedance of an external broadcast antenna which is positioned outside the housing and connected to the electrical input to a predetermined impedance of an electrical device that can be connected to the electrical output, such that the predetermined impedance is provided at the electrical output;
• wherein the electrical output and the antenna device terminal are configured in the common plug connection element which has an electrically conductive pin for connecting an electrical cable and both the conversion path and the antenna device.
