OK so you are saying that I can use E11 or E12 orange wire for the power and then I can use E8 or E9 for the ground wire on the antenna , Correct?
Then I can just run one (1) wire to the head unit to control the up & down of the antenna when the unit is powered on (pink wire). The corresponding wire from my Sony is Blue.
I know I ask a lot of question but I just want to get this right the first time, besides someone will come along someday and find this Thread useful.

Yes, you can use power from either E11 or E12 at the amp - they actually come from the same source and are only split at the amp to accommodate internal connections. The same is true of the ground although you could also just ground at the antenna case ground where it bolts to the body at the bottom. It is usually preferable in audio systems to have independent grounds wherever possible to avoid feedback.

Funny, that was exactly my first thought... install a manual antenna.Eventually, you'll get used to it and not even notice most of the time but you will come to count on the noise to let you know that the antenna has gone down when you shut off the car.
