bought a car cover today for my 96 Z. went to put it on and noticed that my antenna dosent go down, and its not the kind that screws off either. I have had an aftermarket CD player put in since ive owned it, but to tell you the truth ive never really paid much attention to the antenna.I never listen to the radio, so i dont have much use for an antenna. Is there any way i can hook a ground and a hot lead to some wire back in there and just get it to come down (if the motor even works) Im putting the car for the winter and id like to get the cover on ASAP... any ideas fellas? thanks

 

As far as I know Camaros don't have powered antennas. If a powered antenna has been added to the car all you have to do is splice a switch into the power wire that goes to the antenna to raise it. This will allow you to remotely control whether the antenna is up or down. The wire is pink in LS1 equipped cars. Not sure about your model year though.

 

pretty sure it came from the factory with a power one... i can think of at least 4 of my friends that have em.... is there any site that would give me a schematics diagram?

 

Firebirds came with a power antenna. I've never seen a Camaro with an oem power antenna.

 

Think only the special edition Camaros came with a power antenna, GM has a "retrofit" PN for them. Most people get an aftermarket one installed a shop (cheaper), or use the Firebird unit - thinking you have to modify the bracket a little, on the LS1 Monsoon at least. Anyway, don't know if this will help but take a look at www.blackcamaro.com/antenna.htm

 

thank you! huuuuge help with that site

 

Ihave a 94z28. My car cover has a small area where i made a small hole and now i put the antannae thru it and it works fine until i get a aftermarket power one installed.
