i did the exact same things when i had my old deck its a very easy thing to do...... now coz ur antenna works on the same line as the remote etc... goes on and up when the car gets turned on..... u need to apply the switch further down the track.......Originally Posted by ON XTC
ill try explain this the best i can of maybe include a good old paint pic
now as you see the remote and antenna are the same until they spilt to go there seperate ways..... the remote wire goes back to the ignition section wheras the antenna goes to the motor to say go up or down (depending if there is power of not)
If you can follow the wire and work out which the antenna one is when it has split from the remote... u attach the switch in that spot.... this allows you to control when u want the antenna up or down even when the radio is on etc.....
What i did to work out which wire was right (this beiing in my dc2) was to look at the wire from where the antenna motor then had a look down the side of the car i think it was the driver side under the carpet ... where u feed rca's etc......
anyway i did that and followed it back to the antenna motor to make sure it was right.... (i was looking for the same wire colour combination......)
then i cut the wire installed the switch and worked great !! since then i changed to the s2000 antenna and changed headunit so no need fore the switch to be inplace....
hope this helps u a lil bit
and in answa to stealing the s2000 thing.. they can steal just the antenna bit itself but not the whole base and wiring loom as that is screwed in from under boot..... not many people would know it can be unscrewed either.. but if u got fears unscrew it and put it in ur car when u park somewhere
