AVN5435 in now but...?
My installer got my AVN5435 installed in my C6 coupe but the antenna is not working. They say they got it powered up but obviously they didn't do it right.
Has anyone else got this HU installed in a C6 and got the antenna powered up and working?
Everything else is working just fine. Gotta learn the unit but looking forward to that.
OBTW Any recommendations on just bypassing the installed antenna and installing something different would be acceptable to me.
Any ideas?

Yep --
You need to wire the Ant turn on lead to pin B3 in the OEM side of the Harness..
This Turns on the Ant and Amps ..
Good Luck ..
We've done these cars already .. with this same radio ..
Works Well ...

The Antenna Output from the Radio is the Blue one --
the Wire color in the Car side harness is White in pin B3
Hope that helps ....

Which one is the B connector? I have two connectors from the Siemens stock radio, one is black with 12 pins, the other is grey with 24 pins. Also, they put in some sort of adaptor with the number GMOS-01 and they plugged the grey oem adaptor into that one.
So, which one is pin B3 and once I know which adaptor to use, how are the pins numbered.
Sorry to be such a pain but you seem to be the only one who has done this install.
I really appreciate all the help you have given me so far.

Well, I identified B3, and the blue wire you said to tie to was A11, does this sound right? Just take a wire from white/B3 and splice it to Blue/A11?
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
