Then you'll probably have to hook the remote up to a manual switch. I can't think of any way (unless there are some kind of modules to do it) to know that the radio is on and not a CD and vice versa from the HU without a power antenna wire. Maybe you can find a mod online for your HU.
Or else get a new HU. lol

Thats the way its suppost to perform. If you don't like it, add in a switch, or get a diffrent radio.

Maybe im missing something here, but every other HU I've owned had a seperate wire for the power antenae. My last 2 Eclipse headunits definitely did.

maybe because hu manufacturers are reallizing that no new cars have power antennas. most are now incorporated into the windshield.

Hmmm, I'm pretty sure my 9600mp has a power antenna wire. But I do think it is about time they start phasing them out. I mean, no new cars have power antennas anymore as mentioned above.
