I got a new head unit today and it went in fine but after i came home and tried to turn my car on again it wasnt working, there is power as it is still taking and ejecting cd's but no life other than that. i tried my old head aswell and it was just doing the same. i cannot see anything wrong and dont have a clue

hmm mine did this but i dunno how im going to explain it lol. . . you get live energy power witch is constant and then the power that u turn on wen u switch your headunit on.. but mine did the same as yours (must be dodgys wiring or standard dodgy wiring) ..so i just cut one of the wires and ran it through the same wire that was bringing this constand power and now i just have to take the frnt headunit panel off to compleely turn it off otherwise its always on standy . .. . sorry i dont know how to explain it that was a load of crap lol but isnt a big problem a car audio place would sort it easy enough.

nah i cant remember at all sorry. i fiddled about trial and error putting wire to port and seeing if i got standby light and witch ones i didnt and then just came to a conclusion like that and put it all through same wire sort of thing. sure it would be a doddle for a car audio person and shudnt cost a lot if u just show him it lol. yea best headunit ive had.
