After market HU won't power down.
« on: April 23, 2015, 10:59:44 pm »
So today I decided to fit my setero in to my mk5 gti. All went well. Sounds good looks good, but when I took my keys out the dam thing stayed on. It seems the only way to switch it off is by removing the face plate. And I'm a bit worried I may wake up to a flat battery as it's obviously still got power even when the ingnition is off. Any body know what I have done wrong or what I can do to fix it. I used an adapter kit from halfords to attach the wires in the back.

Sometimes on vw's you need to change the red and yellow wires around, so that red goes to yellow and yellow goes to red.
That's what I did with a sony in a mk4 golf.
