Help? After-market CD doesn't activate antenna
Stereo stuff seems to be the topic of the moment.
I just installed a new JVC head unit, all wires matching and connected to plug-in. Powers up, CD sounds great, but antenna won't go up with the radio on and reception is not-so-good without it.
I know the antenna works fine with the old Bose unit, but that unit is dead.
Any ideas? Wire connects I missed? I always liked that antenna powering out and would hate to do without.
Thanks. Again.

There is a blue marked "antenna" that connected to another blue and made the radio seem to power up but not the antenna.
Think I got some signals crossed here.

if you're using the stock BOSE amps and speakers, then you need to have the 1 antenna output from the stereo go to 2 wires. 1 that triggers the antenna, and 1 that triggers the amps.

i have a FAI-1A Scosche which i guess an aftermarket amp for my front factory bose speakers since everything else is changed but those. so i guess ill go and try to mess around hooking up wires through that to see if i cant get it working. thanks for the replys
