maybe. maybe not. not everyone understands things the way you do. simply quoting one of us and saying your right, or just stating the correct answer would have been great.
remember not everyone is as fluiant(sp) in the sho universe as yourself sir.

That sucks for them then... Sorry, not my problem.
BTW, this is FAR from SHO specific.
EDIT: Why would I need to quote myself? I already said it!

Jason...stop ******* up my threads with your constant bickering...please, for the love of all things Holy, stop being a dick.
I'm sorry you guys can't take it... Again, not my problem.
You guys get so bent out of shape most of the time, you don't actually read into what I type. Your answer is there. I tried to say you were making this harder on yourself than it is (being honest) and some liberal bitch had to cry about it. Be a damn man!

Yup, people step in and run their mouth....
If you guys follow the thread, I wasn't the one to get the ball rolling on this. If you've got something against me, then ignore me
Like I said, you're not my problem. I'm sorry if you can't read the answers in the first place and focus on the stuff you don't particularly care for. Life sucks, get over it. You're lucky people are helping you anyway since we are not obligated to do anything here.The more you guys cry, the funnier it gets. Time for some thicker skin?

Just a side note....
If you wire the head unit correctly it will only raise the antenna when it's set to the radio. It'll lower the antenna if you're set to CD or aux, etc. Make sure those two antenna leads on the vehicle side of the harness aren't spliced together....

So back on topic...the answer is that there is a constant 12v going to the antenna all the time when the radio is on. If you put a simple on/off switch in line to the antenna then you can control when it is up or down. You will not burn out the motor.
Not all aftermarket HU's do this. Every Pioneer I have had does not have a separate lead aside from the amp turn on.
you are correct. i have a top of the line pioneer unit. it uses the amp turn on lead for both amp's and the power ant.

Hurry up meow.
If you want to use a self centering rocker switch, it will need to be a latching type. Otherwise, the antenna will go down as soon as you let go of the button. So, the gen 1 switch may or may not work.

I would like to know what wire(color) that I have to cut & run to a switch to do this on a stock factory JBL premium sound radio.

The manual says the wire is colored "O/LB." I think that's orange with a light blue stripe.
