I have just installed a JVC KD-G505 cd player into my series 2 R33 GTS-t. In my car i have a swicth for the antenna, up or down which worked fine for the old cd player that was in.

Now whenever the Head unit is on the antenna is always up, Wether i am listening to CD or Radio. When i flick the switch on the dash the antenna only goes half way down and then stops. When i then turn the car off it goes down all the way.

On my preivious Skyline with a JVC Head Unit the antenna went down if i was not listening to the radio. But the current one won't go fully down at all?

Can anyone help me out as although it is only a minor issue it shits me to tears and is driving me crazy!

Thanks for the help.

Its your headunit that controls it.

Your headunit isn't telling it to go down(removing the power from the line) when you put on a CD... generally crap cd players do this

the crap pioneer cd player i had with my car when i got it did that - kept the antena up even when listening to CD's... i replaced it with a good clarion one and it now goes down when playing CD's..

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
