When I had a Corsa B with an Alpine CDM-7874RB head unit, all I had to do was cross over two wires on the supplied wiring loom for it to retain station and time information etc.

no way will i be taking it out again for that :D i think i will just leave it how it is.

glad to hear it!

i think that when u swop the red and yellow cables over this then works off the key ie giving u the option to turn it off once key is switched

I fitted one of these in my corsa in jan this year. The easyest thing to do is not to use any original cable that was used for the standard vauxhall unit. I did it this way as i had all new alpine speakers to go in as well and wanted the highest quality.
If i remeber u connect the yellow wire to battery, 8 wires for the speakers, one for earth and one for the aerial. The only problem with it this way is that when u turn the car off the cd player stays on, but this is not a problem as u just hold the power/tuner button for 3 secs. Alos take out the glove box (4 screws) and u will see the gormit.

If u need anymore help then just connact me.

P.S Amazing Head Unit by the way:thumbs:

it deffo needs to be run to the battery 60x4! wheres the gromit in the bulkhead??

no need for ISO...just swap the red and yellow wires over. Depending on model, you may have to run a wire to the battery.

if the previous head unit was the factory unit, you'll need an iso adapter but if uve changed it since, it should be alright. Also, I'm sure you need to wire the head unit up to the battery with that model

Try posting in ICE and electrics mate. Might get a better response there

help??

ttt

do i need to buy a iso converter for this job? its a Alpine CDA9812RB at the mo iv removed the top bit that does the MFD display and its fitted into all other HU's??
