I am installing an Alpine ilx-w650 and KT-450amp in my 2000 C5 convertible. I am not using any of the Bose stuff so I am not using the factory wiring harnesses and running new wire for just about everything. I have done lots of aftermarket stereo installs but have a question about the power antenna. I have done a lot of searching and there seems to be conflicting information on which wire in the original harness is for the power antenna.
According to Crutchfield the green wire, to the right of the orange power wire, in the first photo is the power antenna wire. It would be the 3rd pin from the left on the top row, second photo.
Can anyone confirm this?
My '99 FSM shows C1 Pin 8 is the power antenna and amplifier relay feed-coil. It is a dark green wire. Left to right: pin 10 is orange, pin 9 is unused/empty, pin 8 dark green, pin 7 is unused/empty. Based on this and your pictures, I'd say Crutchfield's information is correct.
