[Mk2] [Generic] aerial HELP :(

[zombie_dave]

Hello,

The guy that had my 2 before me had completely butchered the stereo wiring. the headunit works and all the speakers are connected.

However, the aerial doesnt go up (he hasnt connected the wires)

anyone know which wires i need to connect to the switchable and permanent 12v feeds to get the mast to go up?

any help is much appreciated!

Providing everything's connected in the boot (you can pull back the carpet to get access to the aerial) there's just 1 wire which needs +12v to get the aerial to go up. So for most stereos you can connect this to the amp remote wire and it will go up when the stereo is on. Some stereos have a separate aerial control wire which means it will only go up when the tuner input is selected but these are few and far between!

Is your stereo wired in with a ISO adapter harness?

yeah but it has been cut and hard wired to it.

so i have alot of original wires not connected to anything in the back of the stereo.

what is the colour of the wire that need to be connected?
