hey, i have a power ant on my car, the new radio i have for it does NOT have the solid blue power ant wire, it only has the blue/white one.
can i safely connect my car's power ant to the blue/white wire coming out of the radio? or alternatively, is there a safe way to wire in a toggle switch to the power ant on my car?

thanks

 

yea you can do that and it will work fine no problems at all but if you really want to boost your radio reception put a relay on it and wire it to the battery will help your reception a bit

 

alright, thank you man

 

not a problem most aftermarket decks out there only have the one output more and more now theyre starting to bring out more decks with both outputs in my integra i was nice having both outputs on my pioneer deck cuz when i was playing a cd or mp3 player the antenna would go down

 

and yea if you want to put a toggle in line you can not a problem so you can put it down when your not using fm

 

yea, im thinking ill just put a toggle on. conveniently enough i have a switch going to my radiator fans to turn them on/off manually ill just use that, and replace the current switch to something easier to use lol

 

u running electric fans?

 

naw, the jackass i got the car from hooked up the radiator fans to a manual switch, for some reason... im getting it fixed to work as it should, but in the meantime im gonna put a switch with an "on/off" label on it for now, so i can tell when the damn fans are on.... before i noticed the switch, i damn near cooked my motor while stuck in a traffic jam.... just fyi, ive had the car less than a week

 

holy christ that sucks why the hell would anyone do that hahah

 

idk, the mechanic said the relay might be bad, but its a simple easy fix... love to know why this guy half-assed it
