Jfulton Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello This is my first post Been reading this board for a while And pulled the trigger on the 700bt On page 7 (regarding blue wire) it says Do not use wire for antenna booster. Then on page 11 it tells you to hook up Blue wire to antenna booster. My cAr is a 2008 civic ex Any help would be great thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jreimers Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 On page 7 (regarding blue wire) it saysDo not use wire for antenna booster. Actually it says do not connect the blue/white lead. (should be blue with a white stipe) The Blue lead is a whole different wire. (solid blue) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madsonp Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Below is what your installation manual says. Basically it's telling you the blue lead is a signal lead only to signal your antenna to raise or lower if you have this type of antenna. If you don't then don't use the blue lead. The blue/white lead is a signal lead to signal an external amp to turn on if you have one. If you don't then don't connect this lead to anything. Neither of these wires are power leads, they're only signal leads and aren't to be used to try to power anything. I don't see where there's any conflicts here. Notice for the blue lead - A signal is output through the blue lead to control the antenna of your vehicle. The timing varies depending on the setting. (For more detailed information on changing [Ant CTRL] mode, refer to “Operation Manualâ€.) - When [Ant CTRL] mode is set to [Radio], the vehicle’s antenna can be stowed or turned off by following the instructions below. — Change the source from radio (AM or FM) to another source. — Turn the source off — Turn off the ignition switch (ACC OFF) - If [Ant CTRL] mode is set to [Power], the vehicle’s antenna can be stowed or turned off only when the ignition switch is turned off (ACC OFF). - Do not connect this lead to the system control terminal of external power amps. - Be sure not to use this lead as the power supply lead for the auto-antenna or antenna booster. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction. Notice for the blue/white lead - When the ignition switch is turned on (ACC ON), a control signal is output through the blue/white lead. Connect to an external power amp’s system remote control terminal (max. 300mA 12 V DC). The control signal is output through the blue/white lead, even if the audio source is switched off. - Do not connect this lead to the auto-antenna relay control terminal or the antenna booster power control terminal. - Be sure not to use this lead as the power supply lead for the external power amps. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jfulton Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 take quote from manuel page 6-7 (bue lead) "- Be sure not to use this lead as the power supply lead for the auto-antenna or antenna booster. Such connection could cause excessive current drain and malfunction" then go to page 11 look at picture , look at blue wire . " to auto antenna relay control . if veichle has a glass antenna connect to the anntena booster power control terminal . " . All I am wondering is where do I hook up the blue wire that comes with the antenna adapter ? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jreimers Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Since we cannot seem to answer your question here on the forum, maybe you should talk to a local installer. I am sure they would be happy to help you sort out your leads and their connctions. Most installers, when approached without attitude are happy to help you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
