Need help. Just installed a Nakamichi CD-45Z head unit and the antenna stays up when the head unit is on. Even when CD's in it's still up! I'm pretty sure wiring is correct. Only thing is that I had to solder on a new antenna adapter as my old one was cut for the last headunit. I noticed that these was a thin wire with the main antenna wire that i put the adapter on that was not connected. Is this part of the original antenna wiring? Do I need to connect it somehow?

I replaced a jap-spec panasonic head unit with the nakamichi. Previously antenna was fine.

Any ideas???

Cheers

Jason

As already said, not all headunits are smart enough to put the antenna down when not needed (playing CD's). If the antenna goes up and comes down when you turn your headunit on/off then you have it wired right but it just won't pu the antenna down when playing CDs.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
