Default Electric aerial

I hear that the standard failure mode for the oem Fuba aerial is a transistor that dies, making the aerial switch on and extend and not stop until it’s burnt out the motor and melted the plastic motor/gearing etc

Strikes me that an ignition only positive would reduce the risk-at least you’d be in the car and should hear it start as opposed to it burning out while parked up.


Anyone know an easy to reach ignition only live in the boot rear left?
