thats odd 
first things first, unplug the remote lead(antenna wire, is a blue colour on the HUs iso block) and see if that works. If this does work and you want amps then you will need to cut the grey & red wire in the vauxhall iso block OR take your own remote lead from then HU (missing out the vaux block).
hope this helps mate

I have problem too. My MFD won't switch off. It's always bloody on. Any way to resolve it? Does my headunit have anything to do with it?

lol mate....
im not really that good with the electrical side of cars, but if its always on sounds like it might be getting a constant feed on the remote lead connection (Gray & red strip wire). Although when you say "its always on" i take it, its constantly lit up?

Yep. Even when the car is locked up at night. Looks odd. I have cut the red / grey wire so that the date is always shown when my headunit is on. Free hug to anyone with a solution.

must be a dodgy connection then
sorry boss havnt really got a clue, double check that the grey&red wire isnt making contact with anything/has tape around it etc However, you might have to rip the MFD out and check connections 
edit: pull the HU's iso block out and any autoleads iso etc and see if that makes any difference. Might mean having to take your HU out though but you might have a dodgy connection with one of the iso's. I take it this has done it since fitting the aftermarket HU?

Mine is constantly lit up too, but at a fraction of the brightness...only happened after changing MFD LED's, but i have checked it all over and the wiring appears fine to me.

Bad wiring is the problem. If you did the head unit yourself, I wouldnt be surprused with the problem. But, if somewhere legit. did it for ya, take it back to them and they should fix all free of charge. Happened when I installed my mum's HU
