Down boy!

I took out my double din stock stereo when I bought the car three years ago and I was wondering if anyone knows of a device or way to make the arial stay down until I switch the stereo into radio mode like the stock head unit does.

My stereo is an Alpine single dinn. btw

I had this problem when I fitted Barney's Alpine stereo. I can't remeber which wire applies a voltage to the aerial relay but it shouldn't be too hard to find. I added a switch in series with wire so you could simply turn the switch on when you wanted the aerial to 'pop' up.

Great Kev, now all I'm waiting for is you to pull your stereo and photo the whole thing.

Cheers!
