Default manual antenna up and down switch

I have a 94 coupe . I would like to add a switch to leave the antenna down when playing the cd player (Bose Gold). I know Mid America makes one but I don't like their switch. Can some one tell me what wire or wires and (color) to splice the switch in to and where. Thanks

CKT 145 DK GRN from radio receiver to antenna relay. in my 96, the rcvr is in the back. Cut this wire and put your switch inline.

I've been meaning to do this myself, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Any suggestions for the easiest/best place to mount the switch?

TIA.

Be well,

Not sure it's the best place, but I mounted mine on the drivers side seat frame. I put a quick disconnect inline right under the seat, so I could easily take the seat out when needed.

InHot listed the correct wire to cut. Not sure of other years, but on the '96 there is a dark green wire between the relay and antenna (storage compartment behind passenger seat).
