It has got to be a simple power on/off switch that is separate from the antenna. You have your antenna wire (for signal) plugged into the radio but there has to be a separate power wire that runs to the motor that raises and lowers the antenna. The previous radio had some type of integration that powered the antenna motor when you turned the radio on. I'll bet if you trace it back you will find it's not connected.

Yup...check the antenna lead that runs from the head unit to the wire that powers the antenna.

I think its not hook up cause when the factory radio is on the antenna is up when its off its down, but you can have a tape in the deck and it going to be down. The antenna is a wire that look like one of them red, white, or yellow wires that go on the back off a DVD player see if its hook up
