turning off the car/ stereo

[DODO]

i just hooked up aftermarket mp3 head unit in my city,,


does the stereo needs to be turned off manually??

I connected ignition 12v into every wire from the car and still cant find it!

[DODO]

i know!

previous owner fiddled with ignition barrel and now it has new one in, thus 2 different keys for door and ignition.

and im pretty certain acc wire is there but not connected to the barrel.



ARGH!!

well. i thought it was ignition barrel but it wasnt.

it was hard to get but i managed to find myself a stock cabriolet ignition barrel and just have fitted them. + key barrel for the doors &boot lid.

and still the same thing... stereo needs to be turned off manually..

is your city like this too?

[DODO]

so the stereo in your city turns off when you have the key out? right??

ive got 2 city cabs now. and they both dont!

It means you have the (ACC) wire on your stereo hooked up to (CONSTANT +12V) from your battery. You need to find the ACC wire right at the ignition barrel, and trace it to somewhere useful. Your stereo should have two power wires, one goes to Constant 12V and one goes to ACC.

oh yes i got it. i forgot i have had connected both 12v and 12 acc into the battery before barrel was replaced. now that i have good barrel and simply rewire 12v into 12v and 12 acc to 12 acc, and it works perfect. thanks bigelboe again
