AUDIO ANTENNA
Revision: October 20052005 QX56
AUDIO ANTENNAPFP:28200
System DescriptionEKS00BJ1
With the ignition switch in ACC or ON, power is supplied

through 10A fuse [No. 4, located in the fuse block (J/B)]

to audio unit terminal 10.
Ground is supplied through the case of the antenna amp.
When the audio unit switch is turned ON, antenna signal is supplied

through audio unit terminal 5

to the antenna amp. terminal 1.
Then the antenna amp. is activated.
The amplified radio signals are supplied to the audio unit through the antenna amp.
