Default Now THATS a question for someone who has BTDT. In the mean time...

...you can certainly 'buzz' the switch to see if it is good or not.

Or receiving power.

I enjoy looking stuff up as I learn something every time that may save my fuzzy a$$ sometime!

Default My Bently is down - as I changed mother board & processor.

And then I stuck them in my wife's box as an emergency repair. I'll be converting hers to a dual core for an xmas gift - so I'm thinking of re-building my original box in a leftover case I have.

Pretty crappy just to support a single piece of software.

Default I'll be looking at it with the help of nick and bob

and bob has a tranny on the floor in his garage. according to him on the phone today, there is a switch is on the top but he wasn't positive if that was reverse lights. I'm 90% sure that's it though, from the blowup pics. we'll see how much of a pain in the *** it is to change. kday, I also need this to pass inspection, I love MA

Default I actually have a better fix...

The TDS-1 (when ordered with the "I hate my '94" option) will disable the antenna except when it detects that the head unit is sending an actual radio station frequency as opposed to CD track, etc. I figure if the antenna only goes up when I'm listening to the radio it should last for years.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to run the wire from the front of the car back to the trunk before it got cold, so although I've tested the functionality on the bench I haven't actually installed it in my car yet.
