Hello guys!
Firstly, apologies if I should have put this somewhere else, I've only just joined on here!
Secondly, I am not too clued up when it comes to this sort of thing!
Basically I have a 3 door fiat punto x reg (01) The car had the standard tape player installed. I have removed this and I am trying to put in the cd player that I had in the old car. It is a Pioneer DEH-1300MP.
I purchased the facia that you need to go around the cd player so that it fits into place, but I found that I needed to put the bracket on the cd player so that 1, it can attach to the front of the facia and 2, without the bracket it is too loose in the gap where it should go.
The only issue is, that with the bracket on, I can not get the cd player all the way in, about a third of it sticks out, it just seems to get stuck and I don't know what to do! Any help would be appreciated!
Secondly, it does not turn off automatically with the engine, I have read a lot of info on this forum about it and asked in Halfords too. I was told that there isn't much you can do about it. The cd player instructions state something about if the car does not have a acc accessory switch on the car (which it doesn't) you have to do something to ensure it connected properly, it also says about the function of the yellow and red wires (back of cd player) might be different. I have tried swapping them round (red-yellow/yellow-red and red-red and yellow-yellow) but it just does not seem to have made a difference!:slayer:
Thanks
