that explains it, i got a pioneer deck too ...
ive got a clarion unit and it would control it to go down,
so i had the boys at my sound shop put a switch in...
by this time i had caught the bloody stupid thing on garage doors
and trees clothes lines and all sorts of shit so it is a little bent...
its a bit of a paint to flick a switch but less hassle for me
my antenna is ****ed and only goes halfway up. I'm not going to get it fixed though, still pick up perfect reception
yeah they are massive.
does anyone elses click on erection??
fkn annoying.
and yeah i have a pioneer deck and it stays up :(
i just unplugged the motor... i dont listen to radio
or you could dis connect the motor
and put it in side your boot wall and shave the hole!
just a tought!
why doesnt it go down if ur not listeniing to the radio??? mine does?
Yeah I got a JVC and that's correct, didn't know others didn't though.:)Quote:

I found this out from a mate that works in car audio and I found it pretty funny myself that such advanced head units dont even have this sort of simple tech...
oh ok, i got an alpine deck so thats maybe why. but its still fu**in masssive when it goes up!
yea, mine is massive high too, like a fishing rod!!
Mine makes a shuddering noise on full extension and when it contracts down. anyone else having same problem and know how it can be fixed??
Get a new one, and yes it's very common with automatic aerials because they are activated every single time the ignition is turned on/off. Just wear and tear really.
