Hi
Now that I've got the old stereo out of the Multipla, I'm in the process of putting a new one in.
I've bought a sony BT2500.
The old stereo was wired with an ISO harness, and the stereo came with the right adaptor for the aerial.
The only problem I've got is that the new stereo doesn't seem to turn on unless the ignition is turned. The standard fit stereo could be powered up whilst there was no key in the ignition, but the new one doesn't do this. I have the same stereo in my Barchetta, so I know it "should". I've tried switching around the live / switched live cables on the harness (as suggested in the manual), and even managed to blow a fuse by trying the third option ("for cars without ACC stage on the ignition").
Any suggestions about what I might be missing? Electronics isn't my strong suit, but I'm sure I can get this right.
Thanks!
Matt
