It works as expected.
I replace the stock antenna in a Volvo 850 with this antenna, because new, it is priced lower than a used OEM part.
It took only some minor hassle to make it fit, and I ended up drilling a larger hole in the original external nut to make it look as much as possible like it belonged there. Volvo has the antenna in the back, so access to the work was really easy.
Wiring was easy, and obvious. The black wire goes to ground, the red wire goes to constant power and the blue wire is the switched lead for raising the antenna. The antenna signal wire is quite long, and terminates with the standard automotive antenna connector (male).
In case you are curious about upgrading your fixed mast for this unit, here is how it works: the unit is always powered on (via the red wire) and internal circuits respond to voltage on the blue wire. When there is constant voltage on the blue wire, the motor raises the antenna, automatically stops. When the voltage is removed...

Took a while to figure it out
I replaced a broken power antenna on my 2002 Mitsubishi Montero with this one. The Montero has a different way of powering the antenna than this replacement model....and that took me a while to figure out. The Montero has a "switch box" between the radio power and the antenna which sends power to the antenna for about 20 seconds and then shuts the power off. The power antenna goes up when it gets power when the radio is turned on and then stays in the up position after the switch cuts the power to the antenna. When the radio is turned off or the car is turned off, the switch sends power to the antenna for about 20 seconds and this was the signal for the antenna to go down. I suppose Mitsubishi did this to keep a shorted out antenna from draining the battery. However, the new antenna I bought has a different configuration. It has two wires and one of them must have continuous power 24/7. The other wire goes directly to the radio power and it acts like the switch to tell the antenna...
Required adjusting, but it works
Unit purchased to replace factory unit on my old Nissan Altima. The original unit had stopped raising and lowering, and an official Nissan one costs $199. Because the unit is meant to replace several different models, it has an adjustable bracket to fit different car models. I found the main difficulty in finding the right bracket setting and gasket for the antenna mast. We also had to experiment with the wiring, but we found the right settings it has been working fine for about nine months now.
