Wiring help, sorry

Featured Replies

Sorry about this, could someone name the below 5 wires for me? I'm trying to connect a new stereo and it's on, constantly.

 

Many thanks in advance!!

OK, thanks for your patience everyone, I sorted it out myself. Here's the setup:

Now I have to search for another switched live. I originally had it connected to '4', but of course it's not switched. Anyways, I hope this helps someone.

The power switching is done by canbus signals, telling the radio to go on/off. That is why there's only a permanent 12v. You can probably use one of those fuse double adapters on the rear wiper fuse position for your switched live. I did similar for my dashcam power.

I have no idea about these things, but I do remember that when I decided to replace the source in my first Octavia MK1, the new Kenwood one stayed always on when removing the key from the steering column. Then I read its manual and I found out that I have to criss - cross two cables at the Kenwood using some special kind of caps that were provided with the source. After that everything was fine.

Thanks all, yes, it's in and working fine. I connected the 'switched live to a spare fuse location.
