Power Antenna Question
Blue (I think) wire at the CDM box. Pass side of dash.. Or back behind the package cover on the driver side

Re: Power Antenna Question
And when you play CD and if you are running navigation head unit which stays on all the time.
I installed a switch and keeps my antenna down. Around town, even with the antenna retracted, have no issue receiving FM and HD FM signal. |

Re: Power Antenna Question
Marc installed one for me under the carpet behind the driver seat. Saves the up and down big time.

Re: Power Antenna Question
on a 1990-1 passenger side there is a CDM. The main radio module, that is where. I don't have pictures though
