FD antenna
Is there any way to either replace or keep the long antenna from comming up when listening to CD's. I don't listen to the radio much so i really have no use for it? Is there a fuse to make it where it doens't come up anymore.. thats what i'm looking for. What do you guys suggest?

if you have an aftermarket stereo disconnect the blue wire from the harness coming directly out of the cd player (or was it the blue and white wire
) antenna should stay down after that. give one of those a try and let me know. if it is a stock stereo then i will have to take a look at the main harness and get back to you.

Well one way is to install a Bose AM/FM/CD player from a 2002 Mazda 626---antenna is only activated when the radio is playing---when you press the CD play the antenna retracts.
The cost was about $100.

the harness is in back of the cd player, and on a non-stock cd player it is either the blue or blue and white wire. it has been awhile for me but i know it was one of the two.

It's the blue wire on any aftermarket stereo, cut it and you're done.
You could connect a switch to it which has it's other side connected to ground, that way the antenna can be manually operated.
I am also bothered by the long antenne but for me the only acceptable solution it to replace the antenna with something also, I was thinking S2000
