Radio antenna not extending

    I haven't had time to dig through my BGB yet and start probing wires (namely because I can't recall where I left it sitting).

    I recently installed a radio. I've connected the <BLUE> wire from the headunit to the factory wire for the antenna. I've plugged the antenna to the head unit. I get some reception (not the best).

    Anybody off the top of their head know which wires I need to figure out in the back? I'm assuming one of them will be a constant +12v along with a ground. Then I'm guessing they'll be another wire that when the head unit is on, applies +12v to the motor to raise the antenna.

    Is that right?

    Found my BGB, I have everything I need now. Hopefully if I can't get it to extend/retract properly I'll just permanently set it out. I NEED FM.
