Funny you mention that...I just bought a stereo and
installation kit from Best Buy (free install to) for
my Son's birthday. I ended up doing it myself because
I was bored on Saturday. Everything went great except
for the power antenna. Seems Jensen supplied a switchable
12v instead of a switchable ground. Solved the problem
with a resistor and NPN transistor to do the automatic
ground connection when the on/off button is pushed.
Curious tho about how BB would of done it. :)
