Was wondering if any other integra owners installed antenna switches. I would like for the antenna to be up only when the radio is being played.

I am considering this project for next weekend. I have already rigged a switch temporarily to the antenna and maintenance wire in my head unit is accessible via the coin tray.

Any suggestions and pics would be appreciated.

 

just do a switch...not too much else to say

cool mod though, especially for those who don't know about it

yeah you'd just need a switch between the antenna and radio.. i might have to do that too.. no oh wait mine already took a ****! stupid thing..

 

I just did my switch Friday. I used a dremel to cut an opening in one of my dummy panels on my armrest. It came out nice

 

There was a post about this in the ITR forum a long time ago...see if you can find it on the search.

This is definitely a useful mod, I hate that antenna always up. My antenna broke so I dont have to worry about it anymore, but I was planning on putting in a switch as well

 

do you have an aftermarket headunit? a lot of times, aftermarket headunits will have a seperate wire that will control the antenna so that its only up when the radio is selected. at least, thats how mine works

my pioneer premier deck doesnt, so i installed a switch.

the antenna looks ghey when its up too...im gonna so the s2000 antenna sometime, or just shave it when i repaint.

 

if you don't listen to the radio at all.. just shave it

otherwise, s2k conversion looks pretty sweet.
