I recently installed a Pioneer FM modulated CD changer. The problem, however, is finding a station in the changer's frequency range of 87.9 to 89.9 that does not have some type of interference or radio station on it. The result is that I can tell the radio station's signal is interfering with the CD changer and therefore makes the playback sound like garbage. Is there a way that I can hookup a relay or something to make my power antenna go down when the cd changer is turned on so that reception will be low?

Just hook up the power antenna to a switch. Get the power antenna lead from behind the radio.

I would do that, but the problem is, the lead is also feeding the remote turn on for my amplifier, therefore, I need a relay assembly of some type at the antenna to do the work for me
