HU not wired up for Ignition

Hi,

I have an Mk2 Punto and my HU is not wired to start with the ignition, according to the pioneer manual you need to swap over the red and yellow connections. I have tried this and it still works when on in standby. I have checked the cables i have got a live feed from both connectors [red and yellow].

Is this a problem with my HU? Should i contact Pioneer?

Any help appreciated

Radders

thanks for the help!

how do i get to the back of the cigarette lighter connection, do i have to take the whole front panel off?

this might help http://www.fiatforum.com/punto-guide...ction-mk2.html

i sorted this on my punto by taking a feed from the service fuse (top left i think :S Fuse box just right of the stering colum) and wiring into the red at the bk of the HU and it works as shoud now

Hope This Helps Tom

I have tried to run a spare from my cig lighter to the red on my HU and it still comes on with the ignition turned off. I didn't want to take it from the fuse just yet but it looks like that is what i might have to do unless someone else can help?

do you mean it came come on without having ignition on?
thats just a feature that some units have so you can listen to the radio without having all the other electronic devices in the car working

if you mean you want it to switch on and off with your ignition, those 2 guide will help you out a lot. you just need to attach your ignition feed which is usually the yellow lead from the back of your unit to something that switches on and off with your car, an easy one is usually the cigarette lighter but you can take it from anywer like the fusebox, i took mine from the ignition barrel itself
