Very simple really, but I didn't notice anything about this on the site thus far.

On P11:
Open trunk.
Open passenger side jack hiding place "felt door".
Remove jack. (Not REALLY necessary but gives more room.)
Reach in behind the power antenna mast (fender side).
There is a small clump of wires (black, red, pink) that ends in a white plastic plug.
This plug goes directly INTO the antenna's body, NOT into another connector.
Press in the little "button" on the side of the plug and slide it towards the fender. (This may take a few tries.)

Voila. Radio reception has not changed even 1% for me, and no more "WRRRR...CLACK...CLACK...CLACK...CLACK" every time the stereo goes on.

Haha, I may have to do this since my antenna mast has been broken for about 2 years now. :lol:

 

[junknstuff]

Can you also post how to turn it back on?
You may wanna add pics to be safe. :teeth:

nice, the antenna if freakin useless!!!... i wrote up how i wired in a cut-off switch to the power antenna, and ran it under the dash in thread a long time ago. the picture links are dead so im not gonna bother linking.

Yeah, I've been waiting for the stupid fucking customers to leave me alone so I can go outside and double check my facts as well as snap a pic or two. CUSTOMERS. GAWD. Don't they know I have better shit to do than hold their hand while they walk around commenting on shit?

UPDATE: All info elaborated upon, verified to be true, and photographed.

hmmm perhaps look into a switch incase you run into those times where the antenna might help?

any old switch spliced into the red power wire of the motor. BAM!

 

[Black95G20]

you can also splice on into where it plugs to the head unit, less wiring assuming your putting the switch in the dash area.

 

[junknstuff]

^^ good call guys. i might just do this since mine make a grimey noise going up and down

 

[J..M]

There is also a remote antenna wire that you could attach a switch to so you can decide if you need the antenna or not. Ofcourse, that would take a lot more work!

 

[o2G2o]

that would take a lot more work!

No thanks.

not really, that's what i was talking about in my above post. The antenna has one power wire in the back of the head unit. pull the deck, splice into that wire, run about 1' of wire down to the center console and install whatever switch you want. you can get a switch at autozone for like $10 or less. That'll take less than an hour including the trip to autozone.
