antenna
i have a 2000 ls sometimes when i am listening to the radio and i turn off the car the antenna doesnt go all the way down it seems that it only happens in the morning. also is there anything i can do to keep the antenna up when i switch from cd to radio it pisses me off that it goes down than back up

Re: antenna (GirlyGS-R)
Youre describing two things here ...
goes down mid way but only in mornings? is yoru car under ice and snow?
keeping the antenna extended whist switching between cd and radio.. that is controlled in the headunit. My pioneer stays up for the duration of the radio being On. How old is your radio?

I also have a Pioneer head unit, and it drives me nuts that every time I switch CDs, it powers off and the antenna goes down - of course, needing to go right back up when I put in another CD!

Re: antenna (tachman)
OK - my '98 GSR has the same two problems going on right now. My antenna often doesn't go down all the way - usually 90% of the way (makes a thumping sound as if caught on something). Just had it replaced with a new shaft, but it's still doing it.

Re: antenna (sonicblueteg2k)
Mine did the same exact thing, then one day I didn't have any change and I was going thru a toll... so i call my friend and he payed for me. Toll lady waves me thru, and THWACK goes the damn toll-arm-thing on my car. When I got out I realize my antenna was at a 90 degree angle fro where it should be... straight back. I snapped it off, and replaced it a few weeks later, and ever since I've had 0 problems.

Re: antenna (Gizzzer98)
damn. you guys are complaining about keeping the ant. up with cd's playing? i hate the look of it. i hardly listen to the radio. i'm looking for a nice head unit that only powers the ant. when i switch to radio mode..
my ant. thumps early in the morning when i go to school, but it's really cold here now. so thats the problem, prolly just the shaft sticking or something

Re: antenna (94TealGSR)
my old pioneer stereo in my last car did the same thing by bringing down the antenna if i ejected a CD.
what i did to stop that was switch to radio first so antenna stays up, then eject CD. once i realized that worked, always did it and antenna always stayed up until i turned the car off

Very simple install if you order the kit from Chris (member name RStoR), quality build on his stuff. Great guy to deal with, and the instructions on bseries.net (also included with the kit) are very easy to follow. Don't mind the dirt, she's been on stands for a long long while now:
Edit: reception is almost exactly as it was before the install. It's a tidge worse, but for as little as I listen to the radio I have no qualms about it whatsoever.
