6 stack aerial question.

Ive installed a vy Calais 6 stack in my exec vz wagon with no major probs; but i cant use the up/down antenna function on the 6 stack. The aerial operates but i cant adjust the height i want using the buttons of the 6 stack & after reading this post in depth, my understanding is unless i have a Calais or Berlina antenna installed to the exec i can use this up/down function? is this true?

executives came out with standard antenna's.
is the one in your wagon electric or standard?

all executive have power antennas the only models that had non electric was base utes, tonners and crewmans,

i havnt heard of different antenna for different models though, but would make sense with a adjustable height one

There are two different types of electic antennas for VY/VZ models. The antenna used in models equipped with the "premium" sound system have distinct up/down control inputs, which can be interrupted in mid-travel - the lower end models do not - it's strictly "up" or "down".

(and fitting the antenna out of a Calais or something might still not work - I haven't tried it, but I'll almost bet the wiring harness is different. I know that in other areas there are significant differences...)

Hope that helps. Cheerz!
