Disable antenna going automatically up?

Post by -Nighthawk- »

Hey,
I was just wondering if there was a way to disable the antenna going automatically up when the car is started, I rarely listen to the radio and don't really want to disconnect it just want to keep it down until I press the button,
cheers

If you have an aftermarket headunit, you will most likely have a wire to connect to the antenna which will do precisely that.

On your average headunit, you will have two blue wires, an amp remote and a remote antenna wire. You may have the factory antenna wire connected to the amp remote, as that will send a power on signal everytime the car is started. The remote antenna wire only sends the antenna up when the unit is set to radio.

I think there is, but there are other things on the fuse as well
