Yup that also works, ive said many times.

Its to do with the remote lead on the headunit supplying a current back down the ISO block when you turn the radio on. Its primary use is to turn on an electronic aerial or signal booster. If you suffer a loss in radio signal now, you need to reconnect the blue wire and cut the grey/red wire. If you dont have signal problems then you can leave it as it is :)

sorted now lads just pulled the blue wire out of the iso from back of head unit and i can still keep me amp cheerz once again

I had to snip the wire on my KVC unit in old corsa..........

You get the idea? find the blue one then snip the red/grey grey/red one that connects to it!

but........i dont see no silver wire with red tracer (by this i think you mean thin red strip running down the wire?) i have grey wires one with a black strip down it,could this possibly be the one,or the plain grey one with it? sorry 4 bein an pain

cant argue with that then lollol

cheerz lads

thats silly most people on here have aftermarket head units:lol::lol: and im sure all their mfd's work :rolleyes:

Indeed ^^^

Its either not there inside the unit like your first JVC, or it is and you snip the wire.

You ask for advice!

I told you the answer!

Your still asking???

The date doenst display because it thinks the radio is switched on and as such it wants to tell you which station you are tuned too. Certain aftermarket units use this particular pin for something else for example a feed for a power amp as such when the radio is on it tries to in this instance power the amp but what it actually does is tell the car the radio is on. So the little car switchs the date off because it wants to tell you what you are listening too. Certain radios dont use this pin at all as such the car never gets a feed so thinks you dont turn the radio on and tell you the date. So.... you can get around this problem by not letting the car think the radio is switched on or to put it simply "snip the silver wire with the red tracer at the back of the headunit"!

Hope this helps!!

what about the previous reply by ainsley would it really be sumthing like that or internally like you said?

There is some truth in that, read my previous reply.

It affects most aftermarket head units, the fist JVC you had must have been wired differently internally.

If that pin isn't connected to anywhere inside the radio that'll make a difference.

There are certainy Sony units which display the date while you're listening to the radio but not while you're playing a CD.
