New Power Antenna
Installed this yesterday. If anyone has installed an ACDelco power antenna before PM me cuz I had to use zip ties to secure it because the old antenna mounted to some weird bracket...anyway here are the pics:

I like how its power but I dont like how its like the same height as stock.. I dunno why though.. And you should hook it up to the power so when you turn your car on or something it goes up..
|
my dads vette does that but its on even when the stereo is on cd. this way i can put it down when i dont want it
|
ahh i see..
|
I say shave it. :)
|
you can set it up to only go up when the radio is on... the signal from your cd player / headunit should only be trying to get a signal from the antenna when the radio is on, so set it up so that when the radio requests the antenna's signal, it shoots it up...
|
ok genius, tell me what wire then.
|
lmao I'm no genius, I just know it can be done. :p
I'm guessing once you find the wire, it'd be a matter of using a relay to send the power signal to the antenna, but again I'm not sure HOW I just know it's been done. :p |
no its actually really simple. i can just wire it to the power wire for the radio, but that wires actually on all the time...theres most likely a wire...

read throught this, might be helpful.

some radios have a soecial antennae wire, some it's just a remote turn on lead, using the zip ties is an approved gm mounting method (ever pull a power antennae from a c4 vette?)

I used to be the only one at the dealership that would touch them
|
Did you end up connecting it to the radio wire? Or are you keeping it on the switch?
|
well i've been sick the past few days and havent seen my car since i installed it. i think ima keep it on the switch, cuz if i have it hooked to the radio it goes up even when theres a cd, which i dont want.
