Just replacing the ISO connector on my corsa B (aftermarket headunit) using one of these
and there is one wire on it which I know is the Auto Aerial, the pin on the old corsa ISO had 2 pins in it (black/white & red/grey). I think im right that the black/white powers the Aerial amplifier and the red/grey one is cut to allow the MFD to work.
Does the single 'Auto Aerial' wire on the new ISO actually power the aerial amplier or does the black/white wire need to be connected something else?
Thanks

If it has all the wires that are on there,
Black - Earth
Red - Live
Yellow - Ignition
Thats the main ones.
Blue - Remote out (becomes live when the radio is on. for an Amp)
Orange - Ilumination (dims the radio when you turn your lights on)
The other side are all for speakers.

Thanks Steve, if the Blue - Remote out becomes live when the radio is on then that should be fine to connect up to the black/white wire to power the aerial booster as I dont have an amp.

Yea, that correct Mike - some aftermarket stereo's come with two connections; One for the power aerial and another for an amp remote, but on most stereos you can just split the blue cable to power both.
But yea, to simplify - connect the blue up to the aerial and it will work perfectly.
