    Default Switch for Antenna (VS)

    I would like to make a switch for my antenna so it doesn't always go up, any ideas on wheres the best place to connect it? obviously it would be with the cabin but that might not work, does the antenna have it's own fuse or it's sharing it's power with something else.

    pull the headunit out and find the wire that commands the antenna. Place a switch inline with that wire. This way, the if the switch is on, then switching the headunit on will make the antenna go up....turn the switch off and nothing happens...also If the headunit is already on and the switch is off. When you turn the switch on the antenna will raise. it will then lower when the switch is OFF

    I'm a bit para removing deck, previous car was a VL so removing deck was easy, with the VS CAL, it looks more fragile.

    Ok. I pulled out the Radio fuse and noticed the HU didn't turn off (HU didn't turn off when straight (w/fuse)power wire was diconnected last week also, tho what I noticed was that the antenna didn't go up and the HU didn't turn off when car was turned off compared to HU turning off when keys were taken out when Radio fuse was in, so I don't know how the hell GL wired up my HU.
