I have just put a Pioneer app radio in my Bravo and its all working fine but it drains the battery. Every morning its flat. ( Yes I do turn the head unit off). Its also connected to a sub in the boot, not sure if that is relevant.


Any ideas?

it might be keeping the subs amp powered all the time... can you not wire it up so that the stereo only comes on with ignition switched to accessory (1 turn) - and have the memory power feed on constant so it doesnt loose preset functions.

My Stilo has a pioneer cd player, it can be turned on without the ignition on, its on a constant feed - i have had to make sure it powers off the display 30secs after pressing the power button or it will drain the battery with the display lit up showing the clock... i could re-wire it so it has an acc power feed but not fussed.

Thanks for the response, I think that's what I will need to do. Its disconnected at the moment, I will find an auto electrician locally to sort it out.

I appreciate the thought, thank you. I took it to Halfords this morning and got it sorted out for £30 so I am happy
