head unit

[starlet ryan]

i just replaced the head unit in the sr with a ripspeed dvd 720v (i think thats what it is called) but to get it to work i had to run both the permantly live and ignition live together. befor this the clock on the dash also didnt work and now it has started to work!!! only problem is i now have to turn the head unit off by putting it on the standby mode. my question is will this have a great strain on the battery or will it be ok because the power to the amp is not on ?

I've got the same 1 in mine. u got 2 live wires, a yellow (permanent live) and red (ignition live). if you join the yellow frm the head unit to the yellow on yur wirin loom and same red to red it stays on wen u turn ignition off? or just dont turn on?

if it works but stays on wen ignition is off swap the wires around, join red frm the head unit to yellow on the loom, same wiv yellow frm head unit to red.

or if it dont turn on at all uv probly done the same what i did wen i fitted mine and blown the fuse, cant remember which fuse it is tho, try this let us know.

you were on the dot fuse was blown and the previous owner had taped the permanent and ignition lives together to throw a live to the clock nd interior light instead of checking the fuse thankyou for the advice.
