Default Vert Power antenna

Ok I know some one out there has this info,
What wire on the stock Bose system runs the power antenna on an 01 vert.

I have posted in the audio section and no one knows,
I know that some of you guys know every wire.

Can you help.

P.S. G.M., the stealer and Bose themselfs have no Idea
not suprised thought.

Thanks
Rob

I believe it is the pink wire. I cut the pink wire back by the antenna and installed a toggle switch so that I can keep the antenna down while listening to CD's.

That wire (pink) is what I also cut for the switch to control the antenna.

Yes, it is the pink wire.
This link to the TechTips section should be of some help. It's a write up for installing electric antenna in a Z06.

That's one mod I've been meaning to do. I even bought the switch. Nice to know it's the pink wire. Thanks.

I put a switch on my 91, worked great.
Now have one on my 99 - great again...
I rarley even raise the antenna, get good reception around town with it down.
It's just something about the antenna going halfway up, then down, then all the way up each time I start the car. No worries now.
