Radio wiring

[AndrewJB]

Fitted a DAB unit in my Leon that I had in my MK2 Golf and it worked fine in the Golf, In the Leon however it doesn't remember "some" settings. It never goes into demo mode and it remembers bluetooth settings etc but it always starts on FM, If I turn it off on DAB it always starts again on FM, if I switch it to DAB it starts on stations begging with A as well.

Somebody has said to switch the red and yellow wires over but.... I don't have them...

which ones do I need to switch?

The red and yellow wires that come from the head unit plug not from the car side off wires

If you have a multi meter, find the wire with permanent power and the one with power on the ignition and swap them over.

Yeh I dont will have to get one.

Do you still have the old head unit ? (OEM) sometimes they have the pin out on them.

 

[AndrewJB]

Nah car never came with it.

I have one at home I will have a look when I get home to see if not I can see if I can pull my radio and get the location off the wires that need swapping round for you

Will order some "quick" connectors from Amazon and chop the wires atleast if I do swap them and still doesn't work I can switch them back easily then.

Hate wiring! Tried to chop and old glow plug wiring loom out of my MK2 Golf and ended up with a dead car lol.

Success!

Turn ignition off it goes off (as before) turn it back on and it comes back on (didn't do before) but it also starts on the last feature I left it on (DAB)
