Has anyone got an Alpine 9815RB headunit???

Thing is, i just bought one and i found out that i have to connect a wire (yellow wire) to the battery.

But how can i get the wire to go through to the battery??? Are there any holes in the car i.e. under the glove box etc... that can feed the wire to the battery?? So far i cant see any. The car is a Corsa C 2004!


Maybe people with Amps etc, can help me.
thanks.

There should already be a wire for the battery mate on the loom.It just means when you turn off the ignition it keeps all the memory.Just have a play ands you'll find the right one..

Corsa C should already have the blocks though? Easy click and play!

cheers, do you have to take the whole n battery out or did you take the lid off the fuse box cos thats where the wire seems to go when i poked my wire through.

Also, by the wire being fused, do you mean there is a big grey box on the wire?

The wire with the grey box on it just connects to the wire in the loom mate!

Yeh, ive plugged all the blocks where they should go, but the thing is, there is a Yellow wire left and i have to connect that to the battery or so i was told before the headunit starts to actually work. Thing is, im having trouble switching the headunit on

no mate there def will be 2 wires the wires fit to the head unit opposite ends if u get my meaning the battery wire is obviously the one carrying the fuse then i should have a black wire which needs to run from neg to the 2 wires coming from head unit wiring

Right if your wondering what it says on the yellow wire, it says :
" WARNING, High Current Draw, Connect directly to the fuse block or battery, do not connect behind dash board"

Listen mate do you really think that when they sell a HU they expect you to start fuking around with wires behind your dash.??

There will be a wire coming from your car to connect it too.TRUST ME.
