    hey yeah i got the blue and yellow from the oem wiring that went into the headunit, was actually thinking maybe it is dis connected, have a multimeter somewhere so will look for that now, the permanent 12v is the yellow wire and the red wire needs to go to an accesory terminal in the fuse block, oh got the dimmer working though, thanks

    hey so i am out sitting in my car at the moment trying to sort out this memory problem, have the blue and yellow wire, and also have the yellow wire and the red wire from the back of the radio, have tried a few different things but nothing is working, about to pull my hair out here :(

    when i was out at it earlier i pushed down on both sides at the front and honestly couldnt tell the difference between them, just heading home now, maybe my dad might know he used to work in a garage, if not my cousin should know something about it

    I remember reading somewhere that a sign of soft springs or them needing replacement is if the car doesnt return straight away if you push down on it, but i could of been dreaming that aswell, maybe i should get a 2nd opinion from a different garage

    was just out at the car and had a look, the lad in the garage is saying its soft but when i push down it returns straight away which i thought it shouldnt do if its soft and it also recently passed the nct, the springs are red

    I am not actually sure if it is the oem spring, the guy i bought it off was a bit of a numpty and didnt know, I dont think it is the oem spring, I would prob be best getting all 4 replaced,

    Hey yeah had a look, they guy in my local garage said it to me aswell, not broken completely just soft

    Hey, yeah i was describing the aerial amplifier power cable, mine is a 2001 so it should be blue and yellow, will go have a look after work and hopefully that will be it sorted, also gonna wire up the dimming cable while i am at cause wow is it bright at night,

    hey I was having a look at the wiring last night, trying to figure out the memory wire, there is 2 connections that come out of the back of the old headunit and then there is one wire on its own that connects to a wire that I cant see were it goes, could this wire on its own be the memory wire?
  13. ciarancassidy
    i think it could be, i am gonna check all the wires later and see which one should be wired in
  14. ciarancassidy
    The memory connection ( normally yellow wire) should be connected to constant non switched 12v source so it is live all the time if it is wired via the accessory ( ie switched supply) this is why you are losing the memory every time. hey thanks, will pull it out later on and check out all the wiring,

    hey, got my headunit all wired up and is working perfectly except for the memory, it doesnt hold when it is turned off

    Hey Keith I am hoping to fit more brackets, when i went to buy them, there was only 4 in the whole shop so gotta try again this week to get more, at the moment there is nothing fitted across but it is holding the led strip perfectly, those pictures are off the passenger side, have to take some of the drivers side and also with the led strips fitted Ciaran

    ah nice, my amp bypass lead (thanks to aztecbandet for showing me that one) and my fascia adaptor just arrived so will install my new headunit straight after work, away this weekend camping so gonna sand down and repaint the fascia adaptor next week

    did you wire it up to the handbrake so it will only play when the handbrake is on? I have my ipod so will be using that most of the time, gonna get the KS-U30 so I can play back video from it aswell, just havent gotten around to ordering it Don't be silly wire to the handbrake I also have the DAB unit for it and the HAL3 roof antenna that replaces the OEM one so DAB and FM reception are perfect. ah yeah i will of course i wonder actually how the radio reception will be for me as i have a shark fin antenna so just hope it is still good

    No mine was bought from the UK so had UK specification wiring. I think your model number is very slightly different to mine though, I can't check as my car is 90 miles away from me at the moment!! ah have it all sorted, know were to wire everything now so once the amp by pass lead arrives will install the new headunit
