quote: on my block it was black/grey :| and had another black cable for the power for the booster...maybe mine was special :lol: but yea, easiest way, would be to disconnect the remote lead from the corsa ISO block (which will give you your MDF back) and then cut the black cable for the booster and wire that to the remote lead (i soldered mine to the base of HUs remote lead bullet connector, so i still can use the bullet connector when i need to) :) Or you could try and feed it off another power feed - it only requires 12v @500mA (i believe) :) | |

errr to get the date to display constantly you need to cut the grey/red wire in your corsa ISO block, not the black/grey. | |

so if i disconnect the black/ grey wire, from the display, it'll constantly show the date, and is it possible to use this as another power source for the booster? | |

quote: :lol::lol: nah, it be something silly :) like i said, first thing to check is the remote-lead pin in the car ISO block. There should be a black wire and a grey/black wire. The former being the aerial booster power and the latter being the control wire for the MDF display, which you have to disconnect for the display to function properly again (with the date) :) I would double check that the aerial booster connection is getting power :) or go with another aerial booster :) | |

well, i used to have a different sony head unit, with the RCA leads on the passenger side, but i swapped it for one with the RCA leads on drivers side, and now the radio doesnt work, the plug is plugged in, checked today, but it still doesnt work, and i havent changed any of the wiring since the last HU, which did work | |

if its a corsa B, then remember that there is an signal booster the base of the aerial which is powered from the remote lead/auto aerial connection (its the black wire in the cars HU block, which is on the same pin as the greay/black wire for the MDF) on your HU. So if you have disconnected your remote lead to that pin, then somehow bodge it so your aerial booster is getting power :thumbs: | |

check the ariel connection on the back on your headunit mate - sounds obvious I know, but it might have slipped out :) | |
