hi guys

just got me self a Pioneer DEH-P77MP for my MK3 Astra 1.7D (1996):

The Astra already had an Electric Aerial fitted to it when i bought it, so i dont know if its an after market one or standard part. But it worked 100% with the bog standard Original Blaupunkt Stereo that is fitted.

Anyway i took the Standard Blaupunkt Stereo out today and noticed it had this connector fitted:



so i disconnected everything and looked on the pioneer wiring loom and it didnt have the third large connector like you see in the above pic, so i figured that it was just for the dash display (which shows the temp/time and stereo info)

So i connected the Pioneer's ISO to the Astra's ISO and the Pioneer turned on, but the Electric Aerial didnt come up :eek:

i also bought one of them aerial iso connectors (long ones) so the aerial lead is plugged into the head unit, but obviously the aerial isnt getting a feed from the head unit for it to activate and go up.

anyone know how i can resolve this please? what wire from the car ISO do i have to connect to the pioneers ISO for it to work?

pic of my HU's wiring loom:



many thanks!
 
cheers guys! did what you said and now it works :)

looks like the guy who had it before cut off the terminal connector for the remote wire which had be dazzled for a while, got a new terminal installed today connected it and whola aerial is working fine.
