I'd seen your thread, but u didn't put what HU you had. :P

Sorry for not asking :o

:thumbs:

how do you mean? :lol:

Hmmm, sounds like DVD-Roms for PC's.

FFS :mad: :lol:

could you not have seen this thread before :o

anyway it works fine now even if it did take more faffing then needed :)

:o :lol: Sorry but yep.

yes

is this to point out that i could have just changed the fuse over to solve it. Im hoping its not as i spent ages swapping the wires over and carefully soldering them back on :lol: :|

Have you got a JVC HU by any chance?

For future reference for anyone else I swapped over the red and yellow wires. This gave the headunit permant live power however it didnt not function only the standby light was on.
I then by chance tried putting the fuse on the back of the headunit into the other slot above it and it now works perfectly.

thanks everyone for your input :D

going to have a bash at this tomoro, so the red coming out of the headunit goes to the yellow on the corsa loom and the red from the corsa loom goes to the yellow on the head unit?

In theory yes BUT it shouldn't keep settings if you haven't tried that.

My Kenwood headunit came with strange connectors on the ISO adapter which meant swapping cables over was easy :) don't swap the wires over without some spade/bullet connectors etc so you can put it back easily!

Also, my post-97 car you need the key in the ignition to listen to the radio but the engine doesn't need to be running. I put the key in, twist it 2 notches, then back down to completely off and the headunit stays on until I take the key out.

put the red and yellow cuming from ur head unit into the permint live i think its the yellow one

thats what Ive seen on here before - from memory I think one of them is ignition live and one is permanent. Does it hold all your settings/radio stations etc?

does that give a perminant live or something?

Ive heard that swapping the red and yellow wires around will do this

Fitted my headunit out of my old corsa into my gsi today

It all works fine but in the old car you can have music on without the engine running. Are there some wires in the loom i can swap over to get it working as it did before?
