C5 Convertible

I have a 1999 Convertible, wondering if a switch can be wired from behind the head unit to allow the power antenna to operate only when necessary. I know it can be done from the rear passenger area where the antenna is located, but I'd like to hook it up from behind the head unit if possible.

What wire controls the power to the antenna, that I would need to splice into ?

Antenna power wire is the green one at circuit 145. It's easy to get at locally at the antenna. On the supply end I believe you'd have to go under the footwell fuse box (at least to wherever S208 is), then figure out which of the green wires is the one that goes out to the antenna

Splice into the wire at the antenna itself, then just run some speaker wire up to where you'd like to mount the switch

Search the forum. I posted a writeup on how to do this a while back. I spliced into the pink wire and it works like a champ.
