Hey guys, I just recently installed a new Pioneer deck, everything went fine, except that whenever I turn on the radio my antenna won't go up. I know the wire for the antenna is green with yellow stripe on the harness, but how should I go about raising it up when the radio is on.

 

I had this problem when I put in my Pioneer head unit. I don't remember offhand which wire on the unit I connected to power the antenna, but it was light blue. I would go look, but there's a monsoon right now and I'm lazy. I've had it hooked up this way for over a year now with no problems. Good luck.

 

screw the antenna....it looks retarted heeping off the back of an integra trunk. I purposley cut my antenna wire when I got a new deck. I still get excellent radio reception. Best of both worlds

 

i disabled my antenna too(with a switch), but reception is pretty shitty..but i only listen to cds anyways so no cares

 

i got the same problem, my antenna wont go up after i installed my cd player. i dont want it to go up anyways because i always listen to cds. but its the principle of the thing

 

Shave the antenna and get XM radio.

hook the blue with white stripe up to the power antenna wire

 

had the same problem when it was professionally installed. I took it back and they did it in less than 10 min!

I'm getting my XM though soon! The shop has a blow-out sale, the kit is selling for $20 after rebate (The unit + the brain)!!!

weerrrrrrd

 

I had the same problem with my pioneer head unit. I ended up buying a s2k antenna (not a power antenna) from honda for $27, and an install kit for $15 from a fellow HT'er. Install took 45mins. Looks a lot better in my opinion. good luck either way.

 

what is the other yellow and blue wire i see at the driver side that is little bigger than the antenna wire? my friend cut that wire first but it didnt work.

 

yea, i ran into the same problem when installing my pioneer head unit with my 6 channel amp... but after a little figuring out... i hooked up the brown/white from the oem harness to the blue/white or blue from the radio harness, but then again it also depends on the year of your car as well since the 97+ harness is different than years before it..
