"I have an electric ariel that pops up soon as the head unit is turned on now on my ariel there is a wire that comes along with it that has been looped round and taped off? Now im assuming this will be as the standard headunit would only put the ariel up for when the radio is on and so this wire would be for the standard unit maybe? any thoughts welcome"
like a remote turn on for the ariel.

Quote:Yeh thats the only logic i could work out for it but ive never seen it work with a standard headunit so i dont know if it is only supposed to go up when the radio is on as on my headunit its on whether ur listening to CD or whatever. but then if its a remote wire then why isnt it attached to anything? as surely it will need to be attached if the ariel goes up when u turn the headunit on?? having said that at the moment im still quite happy with the booarr tish noise to listen too but im sure il get bored of that eventually so i need to sort the radio out.

johny105 like a remote turn on for the ariel.
"maybe if its a non standard radio then the original had a remote turn on especially for the ariel. if you put a feed to it does the ariel go up?"
