I'd would say no. It's an internal function of the HU telling the antenna when to go up. The only way you could do this is if there were an option within the HU, but that's highly unlikely.

Add a switch to the antenna remote lead. Then you can put the antenna up and down manually.

I don't think that Pioneer decks come with a remote turn on wire (amp remote wire) and a power antenna wire.

Doesn't your antenna stay up all the time then?

That's why he'll have to split the remote wire and add a switch to the one going to the antenna.

my max works fine without antenna, I've trashed 2 already 1 in a car wash, the other just broke. Now im just running off the antenna built into the back window works great. I get reception in my underground parking structure. Power antenna=overrated and nuisance
