Automatic Antenna
Is it still supposed to be up even if just the CD player is on and you arent listening to a radio station?

Re: Automatic Antenna (Mag Red Monster)
I hate how the C5 looks with the antenna up..Never realised how funky it looked until i was following one.
I'd love to find an aftermarket product that could by-pass the antenna when i am listening to XM or CD"s.
:cheers:

Re: Automatic Antenna (BLUTHUNDER)
Bluthunder,
After market device is called a "swtich". I think the pink wire is the hot wire and you just have to spice the switch in. When you are on XM or CD just turn the power off to the antenna and it will retract.
Mid Am Designs sells a plug and play harness for about $30.00 (www.madvet.com)

I have the antenna kill switch on mine. I find it annoying to have the antenna up when listening to a cd.
