Antenna switch button + harness

[SayHey]

Hi,

I am thinking of installing Atenna switch and hirschmann antenna.
Is it possible to find out what is the p\n of the harness? How many types of harnesses were?
And mb someone have it for sale uncut?

I believe the antenna must be the type which works with the switch - you may want to double-check on that. IIRC the switch was phased out of production at the end of 1990 USA model year, along with the old 86-90 stereo systems. I don't know if the antenna connection is part of the radio/stereo/speaker harness, or something else.

I did this, kind of. I got the button (and console with more switch holes), and connected the antenna signal from the radio and the antenna wire to the button, thus controlling the power signal feed via the button. I don't remember if the button needs +12v itself, but I did connect it to the illumination terminal behind the ashtray/radio.
This works, but not fully as Mercedes did it with several different height settings on the antenna. But I'm only interested in being able to control the antenna to be either up or down.

The way I connected it, the antenna goes up automatically when the radio is on/car starts as before when the button is in top position. If the button is in down position, the antenna stays down. Of course I can press down on the button when the antenna is up, and it goes down, and the other way around.

I think it works really well!

BTW - to get it working with the different stages, you need an early antenna with 5? connections on, and then either a harness (if available) or make one yourself that runs to the antenna button.

You have describe one way, I have it in mind, thanks you. Its more like DIY method.I was thinking of how mercedes made it and what are the parts.
