Default C5 Electric Antenna

Is there a simple elegant and correct way to totally disable the electric antenna? It's by far the loudest thing on the car at speeds with the top down.

I installed an on/ off switch for my power antenna, I have satellite radio so my antenna is usually down anyway.

Yes there is, I did a few years ago so I can't remember exactly. I think it's a green wire that went from the radio to the antenna. I cut that right before the passenger wheel and ran a wire to the inside of the center console where I put the switch.

Let me know if you can't find the instructions and I'll go out and take a closser look for you.

The previous owner of my car put a toggle behind the passanger seat in the vert. When the CD player is going no need for the antenna to be up
