Re: How to connect aftermarket headunit?

Now, how stupid is that? You never thought you may shortcircuit / blow sumtin beyond repair by doing that . Were you told you may get lucky, or what? Why do you at all care to ask if you dont listen to advice given :eek: ?

Not likely to happen - that's what the fuses are there for...blow a fuse - just replace.

Well no, if you put 12v down a line they're not expecting you to put 12v down it can blow more than a fuse, as a friend of mine found out when he was wiring his HU into his Fiesta Mk2. It blew the HU up in a nice puff of blue smoke!!! He'd got the positive and negative wires round the wrong way.

Well I would never make an obvious switch like that...the black wire was never swapped as I am certain that no other colour than black go there

So have I reached a dead end? Am I the only person with this problem fitting and aftermarket headunit?
