Re: How to shut off the antenna
Makes me reminisce about my old antenna problems. I had the classic broke antenna syndrome, so when i got a new head unit, i bought a new antenna unit off ebay and installed it at the same time. Found out that with the new head unit, whenever the unit had power, whether on CD or FM, the antenna would always come up, and would only come down when i turned the car off. Quite annoying. Then about a month after I installed the new antenna, the thing jammed (it was winter, turned the car on to keep the battery charged, ice and snow were on the antenna, stripped the teeth off the gears inside)
When it got warm again, i took the entire assembly out, dissasembled it, and removed the gear between the antenna cord and the motor, and disconnected the motor's power wire. Now the antenna never goes up, but if I want to listen to my FM, i just have to manually pull the antenna up by hand. Some may consider it ghetto, but I rarely listen to FM anyways.
And I dont have the 6" antenna syndrome i see on a lot of 3S's these days.
