halfords, but all they had to do was unplug the adapter from my old head unit and plug it into the back of my new one, so i cant see how they coulda mucked it up lol

There is no ignition switched live in the original loom so they need to do more than just plug it in.

even though on my old head unit with the same wiring loom switched on and of fine?
