Antenna goes down
Hi guys,
Im a bit of a noob when it comes to ICE, anyway i bought a Sony HU and when the radio is on my antenna comes up, but when I switch my headlights on, the antenna goes down ! I have sort of sussed out the problem because when I set the dimmer for the dashlights to the minimum it can go, the antenna comes back up again ! Is there some sort of fuse that needs checking ? BTW I have a 96 BA V6 Can anyone help ? Thanks : ) Nupes

bad earth? have you taped up the factory dimmer wire for the HU or was it used by the sony unit? maybe even flat battery?

you've wired it wrong
Sounds like a mixup of some kind with the antenna trigger from the HU and the illumination signal from the car. I would double check the sony and car's wiring. if you don't have the car's wiring info, look in the stickies in the audio forum here, or go to www.installdr.com Last edited by Dogo; 20-08-2007 at 11:05 AM. |
