Need help trying power antenna install with factory radio.

I have a 2007 SS/NA with the Pioneer stereo, factory codes are UQ3, US8, & U2K

I am trying to install a power antenna from a 1993-2002 Trans Am. It mounts easily and looks great. I have the antenna hooked up but cannot get it to work properly. The antenna has three wires:

Black - Ground.
Orange - Constant power Ignition on.
Green - Radio on signal.

The radio (Part # 25780212) has a 16 and 14 pin connectors numbered left to right looking at the back of the radio here's the wire configuration:

16 pin:
1 Brown/White
2 Green/White
3 Pink
4 Dark Blue
5 Tan
6 Brown/White
7 Green
8
9 Tan/White
10
11
12
13
14 White/Blue
15 Light Green
16

14 pin:
1 Red/White
2 Gray
3
4 Light Green
5 Light Green/White
6 Dark Green
7 Tan
8 Black/White
9 Dark green
10
11 Dark Blue
12
13
14

Hooked the Antenna Green to the Red/White for constant power. Hooked Antenna Orange to the pink (labeled as radio signal in the 2005 wire guide in the sticky).

When radio is turned on the antenna goes up.

However it does not go back down when either radio or car is shut off. Pink stays hot after shutoff and does not go off until after headlights go out etc. Tried testing several of the other wires did not find what I need. Think what's hapenning is by the time the pink shuts off the red/white is off and can't power the motor down. And pink is hot when car is on wether or not the radio is on.

My ultimate question is can I get a radio on signal from any of the wires? Is there a remote mounted amp and does it have a radio on signal coming to it?

ya the stock radio doesn't have a "power antenna wire"

so ur best bet is to leave the pink as is and re route the constant straight to the battery. although there should be a constant in the harness (idk if you got the right one) that should work

There is a radio on signal used by the amp that could be used. I don't have the 2007 manual so I can't help with which wire to use.
