[Mk2] [NA] Will my Sony head unit power a DAB Antenna?

Post by rowey200 »

Just bought a Sony CDX-DAB500U head unit and an Auto Leads DAB antenna.

When I plug the antenna into the back of the head unit will this also provide power to the antenna or do I need to provide a separate power feed?

Cheers in advance :thumleft:

You need a seperate power feed which you will find on the back of the sony either a blue or blue and white wire :wink:
