The Monk 50 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Right, I've rewired and put the head unit into the car at long last...been 7 months.I went through lots of wires, fuses, connectors ect ect.Only to discover that the reason the head unit was not working was because the ignition key needs to be pushed in til it can't go in anymore.To the point where taking your hand off the key when running, leaves the key a few micro millimeters out from its head unit power point.I have no idea how to rectify this because to me, it seems like the ignition barrell has slackened with its retention of the key.Any ideas how I can rectify this?

The Monk 50 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Just create a live to the radio from the ignition live or from the battery with a switch to turn off and on.Simple. Link to post Share on other sites

Lukey. 381 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 yea that would be ignition switch to turn on ignition live, you have done it the only way you can without swapping the switch out Link to post Share on other sites
