Default How do I disconnect the antenna power

The power antenna is broken and I don't really need it fixed. I just want the antenna motor to stop running every time the radio is turned on.
Is there a way to unplug something from behind the headunit or do you have to unplug it towards trunk of the vehicle near the antenna motor?
(I'm trying to avoid removing all the panels in the trunk of the RX300)

I'm sure that the antenna power wire is buried in the plug-in wire connectors behind the head unit, but I have no idea which one. I have removed panels to access an RX300 antenna a few times, and it's surprisingly uncomplicated; it just takes a little time. I'd say unplugging the connector at the antenna is your best and most easily reversible solution.

Thanks I’ll bite the bullet and remove the puzzle pieces in the trunk.

If I could do it, you can do it -- good luck!
