Hey guys,
I have just bought a new Sony head unit.

It dosent have an antenna button. Everytime i turn on my engine the antenna comes up. EVertime i turn the engine off it comes down.

I dont really listen to the radio.

I JUST WANT THE ANTENNA DOWN!

If anyone could help me or have any advice please drop a reply

cheers

You could put a switch inline from the blue wire to the antenna also, this would allow you to put it up or down whenever you wanted. (so long as the car is turned on)

This is where I mounted my switch:

You'll notice that I have a three way switch - Full Mast / Off / Half Mast
The wiring exists in the KH and some other Verada's. I just extended it from behind the dash to the coin tray.

..or you could swap your electric one for a plain old manual one :p
