ive got my head unit up and running, except for the antenna. when i connect the blue wire for the antenna to the red/green wire, nothing happens. when i connect the blue wire to the red/green and the red/white wires next to it, the antenna goes up. when i connect the blue wire to just the red/white wire, the antenna goes down.

im stumped. can anyone help me out?

antenna goes up and down each time 12v is applied. If you connect it to the accessories, or battery wire it will go up and down yes each time u connect it.

When i can think i'll get back to you :P Not all stereos have the antenna function..

The antenna only requires 1 cable which off hand is the red white.

Connect your blue (remote) wire on your deck to the red white. Turn the deck on anttena should go up, turn it off and it should go down.

Works like a charm in my R33.

I think the red/green is actually your instrument lighting too.

The factory headunit would only put the antenna up if you were using the radio feature, if you were using the tape feature then the antenna went down.

When I had my new headunit installed, regardless of whether I was using the cd feature on my headunit or the radio feature, the antenna stayed up. It only when down when the whole headunit was powered off. Very annoying

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
