Car Audio Central - Ultimate Car Audio Forum and Community

Ahh, well, that depends on the car I suppose. But all of the aftermarket HU's I've seen have it where it sends power throught the power antenna output only when the radio is on.

I was a valet for a few days, but never came across a car with a power antenna that didn't extend before the radio was switched on.

I think most factory ones do, but there are some that go down in CD mode.

yes it does depend on the car, that'd make sense. Hmm well i would rather not run my rem. lead off the ant. anyway, seems kinda stupid...

I don't see what the damn problem is here...

What exactly do you need to know phile?

We've showed you how to wire it up, and such, so is this helping?

If I had a power ant, that might help lol. I drive a 92 ford ranger that was once a work truck :)

My nearest 12v source is only about 2 1/2 feet away, being the cigarette lighter/pluggy-inny thing.

What I meant by stock remote was the HU's remote turn on.

The part I was confused about: I read somewhere that after running the wire from the remote turn on in the HU, to run it to a red power wire. I'm not sure what the hell that meant, but I don't really care anymore. You guys are a great help! Now I just gotta figure out how the hell to get my dash piece out without breaking it (it's old and brittle)...

And hi fishy, do I know you, or were you just being polite and saying hello? In either case...HI!

THANKS to everyone!

I guess I kinda forgot to say, Im no longer confused...by the way you guys can call me Brandon :)

Glade to hear that you are no longer confused Brandon.

You will find this board to be of much help in the future.

I'm at ECoustics ALOT. I learned about this site from GlassWolf. (I believe he's the co-founder or something of the like?)

You guys sure are alot faster than they are over there...and usually more helpful--save for a few people.

Fishy, I just realized you're from ECoustics!
