Question Power antenna lead??

Does the stock radio (cassette with changer controls, 2001 SCrew, NOT premium) have a power antenna lead? I would like to use this for a remote turn on for the amps if possible.

No, there is not a power ant. lead on any stock radio. Your best bet with the stock radio is to use a relay and a switch to create and control a remote turn on lead.

Question

Thanks, 2001screw4.6.

Another question then......I don't like the idea of tapping existing fuses. Is it possible to use one of the existing empty fuse slots in the inside fuse panel and what would be involved in this?

I answered my own question....you guys may be interested.
I found a fuse tap kit made by LittleFuse. You remove an existing fuse and plug the adapter into the fuse slot. The adapter has 2 slots in it, one for the existing fuse and another for the new circuit. The new circuit is then butt-spliced on to a pigtail coming from the second fuse slot. The kit is made for a max of 10 amps.
