I think what he's trying to do is add a switch to his factory power antenna setup so that he can put the antenna down when playing CDs or something.
All you need to do is put the switch inline in the pink wire at the head unit. When the switch is on the antenna will act normally. When the switch is off the antenna will go down.

Yeah I did this exact thing. Used the convertable TCS and top plate and used the top button for the antenna. All looks stock.
