Yip, its standard. You may have to swap the perm live and ignition live around with new stereo tho.

now im confused!!! lol

why do i need to swap and will my new stereo manuals diagrams let me know that???

also is it easy enough to change a panel light on the brava?

oh and my stereo aint connected to ignition for some reason, have to turn it on and off manually. is this normal with the brava?

Should be an option under advanced or expert to enable switch off with ignition on the standard stereo.

with a new unit, two cables do need to be switched or the stereo will loose its memory. The instructions should say

Thanks to all that helped, ill let you know how i got on. whats everyones opinions on putting a rear spoiler on a brava... tacky or cool?

Its coool, but it depends what sort youre going for as you can go too far lol. If it looks like an ironing board then fraid not :yuck:

i got a 1.6 16v p reg brava, i was gonna go for a nice descreet one on the boot... looks alright on the pictures ive seen.

think ill buy the alloys first, them standard wheel trims are f***ing ugly

Following on from his problems with the radio needing to be turned on how is that resolved, I have a V reg Brava SX and have the same problem, thing is I dont have a manual for the car or the radio, damn used car garages.

Cheers

Manual can be found on my site here http://www.bravo-guide.co.uk/ice.htm#audiomanual

Read my mind you did

Hi rustyballz,

I have recently installed a CD Changer into a P-reg Brava (i guess you are doing the same?). The standard stereo was a Grundig AD182H (1st version with CD Changer control). It came with the standard CD changer lead (for only Grundig changers, I guess) when I looked in the boot, but I did not think this is an ISO connector. Since I was installing a Sony T69 changer, I had to put in one of these Connect2 ISO connectors (AFAS007 was suggested for Brava/o, ps. you have to get the right one for the head unit). The CD Changer connector and 2 RCA leads on the head unit just fitted straight into the connect2. Then one 5m CD changer lead from the Connect2 to the Changer. Works a treat.

With regards to the "auto switch off with ignition", I guess it depends on your make of head unit (and whether it has been re-wired in anyway). The ADH182H would automatically switch off 20 minutes later as described in the manual. I tested this out...works a treat.

fitted new stereo ---------- super smashing great!
forgot to swap wires over --------------- doh!
now i lose my settings when turning on engine ------ grrrrr! :bang:
