Power Antenna (aftermarket) Help
Sorry for the Cross-Post, but I need my Tunes..
Ok,... Here's what I have..
85 RX-7 GSL-SE
Stock head unit, (the 3 piece one with the EQ)
Aftermarket Power Antenna.
1 "Regular" Relay
By the rear of the hatch there is One 3 pronged Clip which seems to have one turn on and off with the radio and power, one ground, and I don't know what the third does...
...Plus I have a seperate 1 one wire clip right next to it. (I dunno what that one does either )
I hate asking what may seem dumb questions, but most of the searches I've done come up with aftermarket radios & factory antenna's, not the other way around.
I also looked in the Haynes manual, and it doesn't state any wiring info for the 84-85 Radios and antennas.
I want to make the aftermarket Power Antenna work properly with the stock Radio. Perferably to go down with the power off as well..
Any specific ideas how?
Relay wiring?
Thanks in advance

Not that anybody Freakin Helped...
But I finally found my answer here:
Fully Automatic Power Antenna (Better than Stock)
It works better than stock. Now the antenna goes Down
with the radio off, cassette in, or ignition off.
In other words, it is ONLY on when the Radio is on.
As it should have been in the first place.
By the way, I got the Antenna for $19 bucks at Radio Shack,
they are on special for 50% off the regular $39.99 price.
Well, hopefully this will answer somebody else who might
run into the same crapola.
