after market HU wiring

Post by Buckz » Sat Jul 15, 2017 6:05 pm

Hi guys

A quick question, had anyone managed to wire up their headunit so it starts up on accessory or ignition? I've got mine wired up and it will not power on with ignition, it does have constant 12v going to it so I have to manually turn it on and off.

any hints?

You may need to swap the perm and ignition wires on the loom, are you talking about factory or aftermarket headunit

What make and model is it? Most often there is the ability to swap live and ign in one of the looms.
