Default The Radio ASL feature

I have the stock Pioneer radio with the iPod dock option.

I think the ASL feature works fine with the radio, but I do not think it works at all with the iPod or AUX mode selected. ASL is the thing that turns the radio lower when you are stopped.

Can anyone confirm this?

Also, where the heck is the FM attenna located on the xB (2006)

Thanks.

Cant speak for the ASL working on the IPOD or AUX.. But the FM anttenna is located in the small rear windows..so we dont have a mast anttenna like the xA or tC's do..

So those wires on the side windows in the back are not for defrosting?

Nope, they are antennas.

When driving you can't see out them anyway, so defrosting them would be pointless.

Agreed. When I saw them I thought "What a waste of wire", but it's not a waste if it is for the antenna. Thanks.
