Default Head Unit power antenna wire?

I've got the console and surround off for shifter install and want to splice in a antenna shut off switch. There isn't a pink wire off the head unit (or is there?) that I can see. I've got a 2000 vert w/the cassette up front and cd out back. There is two seperate bunches of wires off the head unit (Drivers side and pass side of unit). Can I get the desired result from the head unit or should I do the pass footwell pink wire?
Thanks
Rick :flag

I did the splice in the back by the actual antenna. It was simple and I ran the switch into the arm rest storage compartment. Wire was easy to hide along carpet edge and then through the tonneau thing. One small hole drilled next to the internal lighter jack.

Identical mod done here! I know that doesn't help you if you want to put the switch in the radio area, but I found this to be a cleaner install. Good luck!

Thanks to both of you for your input. I am going to do it at the antenna and go from the rear to the tunnel and put the switch next to the aux power outlet.
Thanks :flag
