Hey guys, I need to fit my after market stereo but I dont know where the best place to get a stalk adaptor is. My dad has one in his GP Abarth from Halfords and my mum has one in her 500 Abarth too but it drains there batteries if they dont drive the car everyday :/ any suggestions?

They shouldn't drain the battery if they are wired so they go off when the car ignition is off


do your mum and dad have to turn the radio off when they turn their car off or does it shut off with the key

It goes off with the key but the adapter has a small ecu on it which is what is draining the battery supposedly.

I suspect the fault is with the headunit, and not the adapter as the power to it goes off with the ignition on the buttons side
