There is only one wire for your power antenna. What are you unclear about? The one coming out of the HU or the car?

actually.....that's not true....depending on the car, it could be diff....

there's always one for the antenna signal, but for gen3 cams at least, it takes two wires to get the antenna up.....

use this button

and take a look....there was a thread recently concerning this matter....

For any aftermarket radio, the blue wire from its harness is always the antenna turn on, the blue with white stripe is always the amp turn on.

Dawgz · 03-20-2003, 09:55 PM

um wat the hell is a amp turn on?

Dawgz · 03-20-2003, 09:56 PM

and which two wires do i need to connect to a switch to power the antenna?

rayray · 03-20-2003, 10:38 PM

and i'll go the extra mile...

Dawgz · 03-21-2003, 03:54 PM

So wait, when u connect the black/blue wire and the pink/blue wire, the antenna will go up? or which way or how do i connect, which wires do i connect to which wire? Someone help!

rayray · 03-21-2003, 10:59 PM

if you put a switch along that line... when you turn the switch ON (circuit is complete)... and if you're radio is on... then your antenna will go up.
