Guest_Matthew_* Guest_Matthew_* View Member Profile	ok i have a power antenna on the celica. but when i first got the car i tried like 5 different wire harness adapters but none of them worked. so the guys at the local stereo shop suggested to hard wire everything. what that means is just run new wires to each speaker from the deck. i did that until i got a 4 channel amp. but when i did that (first install the deck) i completely forgot about the power antenna since i didnt listen to the radio that much. so i need to know from the factory harness which wire is the power antenna wire?

The stock antenna has a relay pack and both of those wires need to see the remote 12+ to work properly.

Because, unless your stereo is turned on, no power will go through the speaker ground, but if it is is on, your power antenna will receive power and go up. Only thing I don't like it that it's always up, even when I'm listening to a CD...lol oh well no biggie. I might try that remote thing. My stereo is supposed to come with a remote but I didn't get one with it. -------------------- 95 Toyota Celica GT Dead for now --> Soon to have a 3S-GTE 02 WRX --> This is for speed - Borla Exhaust - TurboXS BOV - Custom CAI 02 Civic EX - MB Quart Reference 5.25" Components - Rockford MTX 8" Subs in the doors - Alpine Type S Rear Fills - 2x Alpine SWR-1042D Subs in a custom fiberglass box - Alpine F345 Amp for the front doors - Alpine M605 on each Type R - Phoenix Gold wiring - Alpine CDA-9855 Head Unit - Alpine Amp link - 2x Rockford Fosgate 1 Farad Caps - The best Viper 791 alarm install ever

That's funny because I just installed a new deck and one of the things I was worried about was if the power antenna would come up everytime I turned on the stereo - even if I was just listening to a CD. After getting the aftermarket wiring harness and connecting all the wires, including the power antenna wire, everything works perfect. The antenna only goes up when I switch to the radio, if I'm listening to a CD it stays down.

It all depends on the headunit you have.

so is that the black/red and pink/blue from the antenna or the wires that were on the factory harness?

cuz i dont have the harnes.. i still have those wires from the factory back there somewhere
