Installation of the antenna, it was necessary to modify the bottom of the support because the fixing and evacuation holes are not aligned.
Otherwise, for the moment impossible to make it work ...
The polarities are reversed when the ignition is on, and when the station is on.
For example /
White: Once negative once a positive
Yellow: Once positive once a negative
Brown: positive after contact
In short, it is to go crazy...

Have you bypassed the old relay....?

The new antenna has the relay built in, so the old one is redundant.

You only need two of the three cables running back into the car, the trigger wire and the positive feed. You pick up power for the antenna from the central locking circuit breaker. Earth is connected to the earth point on the rear wing.

No I did not.
I thought it could work even if I kept the old one, I guess not.
Thank you for the link, I will do the modification tomorrow, and it should work.

This afternoon I installed Dave Mc Keen’s Led board, and what can I say, it's simply amazing.
The result is absolutely beautiful. Before this, I, had white Leds behind the panel and the illumination wasn't nice enough.
Now, a few pictures to see it:

Thanks for that, he does some good bits on there. Arran have you thought about stocking any of these bits in the shop?

I tried, but it was a non-starter. I would end up paying more than you would (as it would go over the duty/tax bracket), and he was reluctant to send me decent quantities of them at once.
I have a few of the relays here, where people who didn't get on with them ended up going back to stock and so I ended up with them.
The quantities I get through tend to put people like this off, where he's just doing it as a hobby, then all of a sudden I want 100 units etc. JRG being a classic example where he just can't get the stuff to me quick enough now.

Fair enough. I'll drop him an email about the LED panel :thumbsup: What relays of his do you have?
