Power antenna toggle switch
Sorry for making a new thread but I can't find anything searching and I'm hoping to be able to get my dash back together tonight.

Problem: I have a stock radio. I would like to run the power antenna mast on a toggle switch to save wear and tear.

What i need: I need to know which wire to install my switch in line with to do so. What color...

Every thread I have found is for an aftermarket head unit.

Sorry if this has been answered, cuz I think I thas but I couldn't find it and lack of research before starting the job has me in a bind....thanks for any help you have.

Anybody got a clue? I'm thinking it might be the pink with blue striped wire?

It's a blue wire and it says "power ant" right on it.

I bought a rocker switch to do the same thing. Ditto on the blue wire. My JVC doesn't detract the antenna while it's playing music from the USB port. Don't want the thing up when I go on the trails. It will be gone. I wanna have my Abba w/out skipping whilst rock crawling -

Stock radio means there is no harness with labeled wires and such. Thanks for your help.

Alright got it figured out....I kept searching for info that w only one the forum sites. Such ass this one yoga tech and expedition portal.

But a quick sexed for a 96 4runner stereo wiring diagram on Google with out those sites...netted like four sites that said the black wire with the red stripe is the antenna trigger wire.

This is on the harness that goes from the amp to the back of the stereo. A simple toggle switch van be used to interrupt this signal to go up and down as you like. And in theory will work as stock if the switch is left to the on setting,
