The ariels in the fto are quite lame to say the least, however if it is not working at all then i could only guess its not hooked up correctly to your head unit.
Whats an FTO?

hey, I sort of have a problem with my arial too.
Mine works well but, the arial comes out as soon as I turn on the engine, and when I turn the engine off, arial goes down.
I thought arial should be working only when I switch on the radio.
BTW, whats the moral of that button opposite to fog lights switch. It looks like an arial, upside down triangle sort of thing.

it depends how your aerial is hooked up.
Mine works when the stereo is on, the car could be running but if the radio is off the aerial goes down...
