There is an "Amplifier Turn On Switch" (blue/white) wire - which is a good thing... In the directions for the wiring adapter kit it says if you have no amplifier wire you can use the antenna wire to trigger it... so my question is can I splice the Antenna wire(blue) into the Amplifier Turn On wire(blue/white) from my head unit and get the right result (antenna going up when the stereo is on)?? Seems to me that it should work out just fine - but I wanted to run it by the experts... -Aaron 1999 Contour SVT #2553/2760 Order protein powder from www.trueprotein.com and use AAL229 to get 5% off!

The voltage for the amp turn on wire and the power antenna are usually different but i have heard of hooking up the power antenna directly to the battery so you should be ok with just hooking up the amp turn on lead to the power antenna 05 Chevy Colorado z71 4x4 for sale 97 Honda Accord 4door track whore 12.9 N/A (blown and wrecked) 97 Honda Accord 4 door 03 Eclipse GS
