B's R33 GTS25T Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hey Everyone, Just a quick question. My auto up aerial is broken, and makes a hell of a racket for about 30 seconds when the car turns on and off, trying to go up (but can't). Does anyone know if there is a fuse which controls the aerial only? I have tried rummaging around inside the boot, but can't reach the aerial cabling. I assumed the aerial wire into the back of the head unit, if disconnected, would stop this from happening, but the head unit is turned off - still happens. Any ideas? Thanks. Brendon.

nmcmahon83 Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Hmmm who ever wired up your head unit is dodgy... as it sounds like they wired the aerial into the Accesories rather than the head unit itself. I know this because I installed my own head unit and the aerial only goes up when the head unit it switch to RADIO (ie it isn't up if im playing a cd)... So you could possibly get it rewired at whatever cost if there isn't a fuse to control it...

B's R33 GTS25T Posted February 15, 2005 Author Share Posted February 15, 2005 It's actually the factory head unit. Yeha you're probably right about it being wired to the accessory. I'll have to trace it back or something. When I pull the factory head unit out I'll see how it is wired, and fix before I install the new one. Cheers. Brendon.

2BNVS Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 same thing with me, it would sound like its goin up but it doesnt actually go up, was never anythin wrong with the wiring coz when i got my new tv/ headunit installed it was all fine, but ive removed the rear antenna now so i guess i dont really need to know how to fix but good to know why it was doin that... ben...
