Power

Dougs325 · 11-29-2004, 10:35 AM

What can I hook up to my antenna adapter to give it power?? I've played my CD's to death and want the radio, but ever since I put in my Clarion, I had to get an antenna adapter and it needs power. HELP!

shouldn't the adapter plug into the factory antena wire ?

One would think, but the stock antenna came with it's own power source, this just allows the clarion to recieve the signals from the antenna so I need to power it to work. Can I just split a power wire and hook it up??

Hook it up to the Clarion's power antenna lead (blue, I think).
