When the you switch to radio the HU sends 12v to the trigger wire and the antenna goes up...when switched to a different mode 12v is removed and the antenna goes back down. As I said above if you wanna stop the antenna halfway (or anywhere else ftm) wire a switch across one of the supplying wires... -------------------- 98% completion --- aaRon |
