We have it on both Verts.

Located the switch (SPST) in the ash tray (between the lighter and tray itself).

Great option - we seldom use the radio (have iPod's).

Bought from Ecklers, or Mid America many years ago.

I just looked at a schematic and it shows Blk=ground Grn=From radio Orn= Positive Voltage which I would interrupt with an inline switch. But in previous posts I thought they talked about a Pink wire that was to be cut and a switch installed. The schematic shows an antenna relay and the antenna itself with three wires in between the two. But no color codes for those wires. Maybe the pink wire is one of those wires. If you find a pink wire that would be the one I would put the switch on. Well I hope that helps you out.

Stock Manis correct - cut the Pink wire: install the switch wires to each of the cut ends - switch operational
