right lads.. I have a single DIN Chorus cassette head unit in my a4. I took it out and was going to pop in a cheap Nikai (maplins special) head unit just cos it has CD, Line In and SD card. It's odd though cos I can't find a switched live on the power block. I've been in there with a multimeter and there's a permanent live but no switch. So how the hell does the existing head unit have a switch? To be fair it doesn't turn off when the ignition's off. You need to turn off the ignition and remove the key. hmmmm. Is there an autoleads ISO adapter I should be using? I don't want to keep the power permanently connected. I spliced the live and switched live together to give permanent 12v but even with the facia off I could hear an intermittent popping through the speakers, suggesting there's too much going on there and I'd be seeing a flat battery quickly.
And Do I need to think about a PC5-52 amplified aerial?
The Autoleads website seems to suggest a PC9-401 although the chorus unit isn't really listed anywhere for my year of car. Aww man this is confusing.
Oh yeah... what the hell's this? Is it some kind of mobile aerial? It's hanging down at the passenger side of the dash. Looks like it used to stick somewhere.
cheers
