Radio/Antenna S70 1998

Question,

Can I splice in a switch (SP, ST or maybe SP, DT not sure if I need ground) to turn on or turn off the power antenna when the radio is on to avoid having to purchase the wiring harness? How would I do this? I'm thinking it's as easy as splicing in an on/off switch (SP, ST)into the power antenna lead at the back of the radio (3A wire?). What's the power requirements on the switch.Thanks

    Sure you can do it--just check out the wiring diagrams at least twice before cutting anything. If you're looking at a non-dealer switch, take a look on ebay and check around this bboard. At least on my '99, the earlier antenna up/down switches fit right into the dashboard holes; they just don't look quite the same. Big deal--it's handy for getting the right switch without taking your eyes off the road, having the antenna switch a little different.

      Thanks Bru,

      I might look into getting the Volvo switch but might settle for a "hidden" non-OME switch. I use my MP3 player 99% of the time so I tend to not use the antenna. Thanks again :)
