So you dont want it to come up?

There is a Green/Red wire which plugs into the back of the deck which triggers the antenna to rise. You might need to cut this wire and put a bit of electrical tape on both ends.

From what i've read, some headunits don't come with an antenna control wire on the back of it, so installers (or owners) wire it in with the ignition wire (out of the back of the headunit)

So... if the antenna comes up when you turn the car or stereo on (CD too, not just radio) then it's like that. Find the wire that travb81 mentioned, and remove that from the connection.

Otherwise, it's hooked up to the antenna control output of the headunit, as trav said.

Okay, I might as well jump into this thread instead of starting a new one.

My R33 Series 1 aerial is ALWAYS up... It won't come down. Now, I thought the Green/Red would have been connected to the constant 12V, as even when the car is off, it stays up...

Problem is, I can't find a single Green/Red cable, except one that is connected to nothing, but also has silver dots on it...

My other issue is, which is the illumination wire?

I can't manually turn my headunit to dim, I need this wire, or does it (the illumination wire from dash) just go High (12V) when the headlights go on?
