Retracting of aerial.
Hello guys
On the 4.8GL models the aerial only pulls back halfway if you use the button to lower the aerial. Is there a way to lower it completely without switching of the radio.
• Maybe Nissan sells a switch that will do the job.(hi hi)
• Can I wire a switch in myself to do the same job? Did anybody tried this before.
Any input and pointers will do.

Re: Retracting of aerial.
That aerial is most infuriating and after breaking (geknak) mine a second time in the bush, I simply cut mine off with a side cutter - the motor still whirrs wildly every time I start the motor. I am now looking for a replacement, whip aerial and will then remove the motor completely and use the switch for something else. Let me know if you do come up with a solution though.

Re: Retracting of aerial.

Re: Retracting of aerial.
Dankie Vaatjie!
Ek wil net bevestig met jou - met die ekstra skakelaar kan jy dan die lugdraad of ingetrek hou of heeltemal laat uitstrek na jou willekeur?
Ek vra net agv daai simpel half uit - half in posisie. Is dit heeltemal uitgeskakel met jou modifikasie?
Ek neem aan die ignition moet aan wees om die lugdraad se posisie te veander?
Terwyl my radio nou uit is gaan ek die mod sommer nou doen!

Herrie. Jy moet die swart plastiek inner cover in die wielboog links voor verwyder om by die lugdraad motor te kom. Boud die lugdraad los en vervang die lugdraad gedeelte.
