So I installed the Pioneer DEH-P5900IB deck in my 1992. Now everytime I power the deck on, the darn antenna goes up even if I'm not listening to the radio. Is there a way I can wire the deck so that the antenna stays down unless I want to listen to the radio? The harness I got has 1 blue wire, and 2 blue wires from the deck that lead into one. I know the antenna cable needs to be plugged in for my rear speakers to work cause the amps run off the same power.

 

do both the blue wires coming out of the deck have antenna on them.. or is one "REMO" or something like that.?

 

The Remo should be for a remote wire for an amp..
But there should be another cable that says "ant"

 

when i first got my 90 it had a sony installed in it. and like you any time the stereo was on the antenna was up. well it broke from hitting a tree.

The first gens had a switch where you could raise/lower the antenna. i would look into that if i were you!

 

same thing happened with my kenwood. I disconnected the antenna for a while, and just recently replaced it with an antenna from a pickup. It's not the same as the taco whip mod but it's a hell of a lot cheaper, the assembly/whip was only like $40 new from the dealership.
