Electric Aerial question

[sauron]

Just fitted a replacement OEM aerial to my car and all works perfectly but curious if aerial should be extending when i am just listening to CD. Seem to recall my previous Supra only extended when i switched to Tuner?

Are you using an aftermarket stereo?

 

This will happen if not stock.

Yes got an Alpine head unit fitted same as my previous Supra that i owned a few years back but dont recall that one extending when CD was selected?

[Gambit]

It probably did m8.

I have an

Alpine and that goes up the minute the stereo is switched on. You could install a flick switch if it botheres you or you could go into the boot and disconnect the ariel..... Up or down, makes little difference in my opinion.

Yea got an alpine too it goes up when the unit is turned on irrespective of what you selected

Glad i am not the only one with the problem. Thought it may have been the way i wired the stereo up that was causing the issue.Oh well bit of a design fault in my mind but i think i can live with it!
