  • QuestionWill this unit turn off completely so that antenna will lower without turning off the vehicle? The antenna goes down when turning off the ignition but but can’t get it to lower by turning off unit , ie lower it when going through a car wash?

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Hi there, Thank you for your question. This unit does NOT have a dedicated power antenna output, nor will it fully turn off to lower a power antenna.
