OP Jazzman Member J Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 494 North York, Ontario, Canada	Will all aftermarket HUs be compatible with power antennae? Can anyone let me know if they've had any success stories/horrible failures? Thanks!

If it's plug and play, great. 1998 Mystique LS V6 ATX - Satin Green/Grey Leather Moonroof - Ford Remote Starting System 885s for fogs - Fogs with Parks JVC KD-SH99 MP3 - Pioneer TS-A6865s in the doors JVC 12-Disc Changer "Sometimes I'm good, but when I'm bad, I'm even better."

Brian Most aftermarket head units come both with an amp remote turn on (blue/white) and a power antenna turn on (blue). If you have the premium sound system than you need to use both of these wires since you have an amp and power antenna. If you were to switch these wires you would find that when you put in a cd there's no music and your antenna goes up. Just make sure you go to your local shop and pick up a wiring harness (metra 99-5511) for premium sound and no premium sound (metra 99-1770). And just match colors together from the radio harness to the metra or other OEM wiring intergration harness. [This message has been edited by T.J. Fontana (edited February 14, 2001).]
