I just put a new CD player into my Integra yesterday and now the radio antenna is always up when the CD player is on. It is up even when the radio is off. What could be causing this? Do I have the wires hooked up incorrectly? Thanks!

 

I just took it to an audio store and they said that the CD player does not have the right wires to have separate power to the CD player and to the antenna. Does anybody know if there is a way to fix this or do I just need to disconnect the antenna?

 

whats the make and model of the radio?

 

Many aftermarket radios, especially the cheaper ones, share the same blue wire for remote turn on and antenna power.

What's so bad about having the antenna up when you're listening to CD?

 

It is a Pioneer Mosfet DEH-17.

 

I mean, who has antenna's anyways, lol.....JK.

I have the same problem too. I can live with it. I listen to CD's all the time cuz, uh, well, I don't have to listen to the same song everytime on the Radio. lol.

Radio for music
Radio for traffic reports ...but navi is better

 

u could always make up a switch for the antenna so if you want to still listen to radio you can.
Just hook up the switch to the antenna wire. cant really explain properly explain atm as been drinkin lol but yeah il come back tomorrow n try explain it properly

 

That is a really good idea! I can't believe I did not think of that. Thanks

 

i have an opposite problem, my antenna stays down
-just had an Alpine cd player installed.
what could be the problem?

 

Maybe the antenna is not connected to the CD player...maybe. Or something else. Most likely, its not connected.
