I've got a relatively new Alpine head unit, so I'm pretty sure it's got the remote amp turn on/power antenna output you mention. HOWEVER, I have had an amplifier (and subwoofers) installed in my car. How likely is it that the power antenna output has been redirected/disconnected?

The last time I checked, the currently-unused power antenna plug is still where it should be, so that's a start. The shop that installed my amp and subwoofers does good work, but if I didn't have a power antenna then I would think they could have disconnected the proper wiring and not realized that it should have been left alone. I think they ran their own proper-gauge wiring from the radio to the amp, but I'm not sure if they messed with any of the other wiring (perhaps thinking it unnecessary). Where are the wires that run from the radio to the (power) antenna?
