thanks

do you have an aftermarket head unit? if so, on the harness off the radio you can cut the antenna remote wirethis wire is what makes the antenna go up. also, be careful not to confuse it with the remote wire, if you have external amps they will stop working. i would suggest you place a switch so you can put it up when you need it to.

 

go to the back of your trunk, open the rear plastic quarter panel on the left side, look for the power antenna motor, spot two wire plug, and disconnect. your radio reception is gonna suck ass after this... hope you got some good cd's/mp3's :goodjob:

 

thats what i did... sometimes i wish i could listen to the radio but they j/ outplay every song. the stock antenna looks like ass when its up. either go S2K antenna or disconnect the stock one. any aftermarket hu's come with a built in antenna?

 

j/w but do type r's have antennas? im drawing a blank

 

get an alpine headunit. it only raises the antenna when you are listening to the tuner.

 

i just bought an s2k antenna and it is freakin sweet....the reception isnt the best but it looks so much better and if you listen to cd's all the time then u dont got to worry about it

 

like i said in my other antenna post - just wire in a bypass switch. Switch it on, the antenna mast rises, when you want the radio. Switch it off, the antenna goes and stays down, when listening to a CD.

 

i agree. thats what i did to mine. its barely up because i always listen to CD's but when i need it i just flip the switch.

 

My antenna switch works great. Plus, it gives you that wonderful "Bling-Bling" of having custom installed switches in your interior.:thumbup:
