How To Connect Car Radio Power Antenna


A power antenna has an internal motor that controls the movement of it, allowing it to raise upwards and downwards. The motor inside the power antenna needs a source of voltage to trigger it to spring open. You will find that power antennas are used mostly on old school cars, new vehicles tend to hide them away and make them non visible due to how technology has changed over the years. This style of design is widely popular with Cadillac and Lincoln 1960s vehicles. Now let me make one thing clear, a power antenna or aerial makes no difference to making the signal stronger. Its a misused term in car audio, in some cases people think that a power antenna will boost their incoming signal and in fact make the radio pick up more stations. Today we will instruct you how to connect a power radio antenna.

1) Install your new antenna into a location of your vehicle preferable at the back.

2) There will be two wires to connect. A power antenna turn on signal wire and a aerial plug, both which go into the back of the car stereo. You will need to the connect the power antenna wire direct with the blue white stripped wire found on the wiring harness plug. This will allow it to automatically erect when the CD player is powered on and go back in when its switched off.
