Hey guys, does any1 know how to disconnect the dc2r antenna whilst still being able to listen to the radio?
???
You mean so it doesn't go up when you turn the radio on, but the antenna itself is not unplugged.
There is a specific cable coming from the loom which controls this, you will just need to cut it and seal it off, i can't find a wiring diagram at the moment, but it shouldn't be too hard to get your hands on, it may be written on the cable when you pull the unit out!!
yeah, ive heard the reception isnt affected too badly?? Anyone know from personal experience? Does anyone know which wire it is on the wiring loom?

No antenna, means no reception.
No reception usually means no radio lol... or really poor quality radio.
Dont think its possible mate.
Like Q said no antenna no reception.
you might be able to get some of the bigger radio stations but it will be all static and will cut off when u go past trees and or when the little signal gets blocked.

What jords said is prob ur best route. get an S2K looks better n u still get 100% reception/signal.
Thats what I have on mine anyway and have had no problems.

just cut the (blue/blue and white from memory) triggerwire.
if you pull up the antenna by hand you'll still get pretty decent reception. but why not just fix it.
s2k antenna looks sweet imo.
Its the thinner yellow green wire. Be careful because there are two yellow/green wires and one is for the fuel pump. Cut the wire and put a switch into place so you can make it go up an down when you want.

I like the big DC2R antenna, makes me feel like i'm driving an RC car
Haha, I wanna get my antenna removed the whole filled up
