just installed antenna..
i finally ripped out my antenna and re-installed it. I ran the antenna lead to the radio but the antenna doesnt extend when i power the radio... is there suppost to be a seperate wire for the power antenna?? theres a cable on my radio that says "for remote, amp or power antenna only" what do i connect to it?

If it's a stock pillar mount antenna, it won't go up by itself. You have to pull it out by hand.
If you bought a power antenna (I'm not familiar with anyone who makes power antennas for CRX's, but I could be wrong) there will be three wires to hook up: A ground, a constant +12v, and a switched power. The switched power goes to the antenna turn on lead (blue wire on most aftermarket decks)

nope, I've never seen any. with the antenna on the windshield pillar, It's difficult and costly to get a power antenna on there so I don't think honda did any. (keyword think)

the old skool 3rd gen accords with flip up lights had power pillar mount ants with the manual switch to control it in the center console. the motor is down by the dead pedal area. i always wondered if they would somehow fit.
