Wiring up aerial to new headdeck

[Chook]

Need help!!!! which wire from the stereo harness of a 97 'tina controls the aerial when the radio is turned on/off. Colour/Tracer would be unreal.

Should be the Pink one, Book says 'P' just 'P' but if the contractor only had something close then that is what you got....

[Dogo]

P is what comes out of the aerial. Red is what it should be when it gets to the stereo.

Should hopefully be red. *crosses fingers*

whatever color it is, it's pin 2D on the stereo, which is on plug 2. Plug 2 is the one with a block of 6 pins ( 3x2) then 1 pin on the bottom in a block of 4 , then 4 pins ( 2x2 )

Its the middle one on the block of 6, on the bottom row ( there should be an empty pin next to it )

XX = blank pin

u want pin 2D

damn i forgot. i done mine and leannes car :? all esle fails touch the remote wire
on the headunit on each pin quicky. :)

I agree with it being pin 2D, colours can change over the years due to different sub contractors ect... and are reflected in different editions of the manuals. I just looked at my spare '96 dash loom and 2D is pink with silver bands (no trace)

Here it goes for all the wires:

2A +12V from ignition
2B No connection
2C +12V from battery
2D To antenna
2E Dash illumination
2F
2H No connection
2J To center speaker amplifier
2K Left frount speaker +
2L Left frount speaker -
2M Right frount speaker +
2N Right frount speaker -

3A Left rear speaker +
3B Left rear speaker -
3C No connection
3D No connection
3F Right rear speaker +
3H Right rear speaker -
3I No connection
3J No connection

If you understand the diagram then you can write down the colours before cutting them from the plug

ok i just had a look at mine while i installed the amp and subs 2day, and the remote wire for my 95 astina is red with grey/silver trace?/band thingies.

[Dogo]

that sounds like what mine was too. from memory

[Chook]

Thanx. its the pink wire. New question. On my headdeck the remote wire is use to raise the power aerial up/down, but has power when the cd is to and im using that wire in the amp. Any way to get around this????????

[Pernod]

I simply split the wire and ran it to both.

As I usually listen to cd's (My partner drives through a point where all the radio stations change freq on her way to work, so the radio drives her insane and we just use cd's).

Because of this, i simply put a switch in the join between the headunit wire and the aerial one. that way I leave it down when using cd's, but if I want to use the radio the aerial still functions off the headunit.

Does this make sence? Is it any use?

[sik astina]

chook, so ur aerial stays up when u have a cd in. yeh do what pernod said. makes
sence since u dont have 2 remote wires on the headunit.

[Chook]

Yeah sounds like the go,will do that. Just wanted it to do it automatically so i wouldnt have to switch the aerial up.

[Pernod]

Unless the headdeck has a wire that turns on or off when the cd is in theres no way to make it put the aerial up/down when the only the radio is being used.

I'll post a pic of where the switch I use is (not that its that exciting) after I've had my tea ;-)

[Pernod]

Its hardly exciting but heres the switch - its just a pin rocker switch.
Up is aerial up, and down is down (surprise!)

The wire off the headdeck runs through this, so its on up, then it still goes up/down when the cars on/off.

Theres plenty of other places you could put it - but I've used most of them, and this was convienient.

Thats the project for the weekend, wire up the switch. Sick of listening to cds.
