Hi,

Title says it all. I have sourced a Radio Angel stereo for my Mk2 Octy.

Naturally my Octy has CANbus and has the high and low red-white cables in the connector.

My question: Can I separate the red-white CANbus cable from the ignition/switched red wire of my Radio Angel stereo with a rocker switch and use that switch to manually turn off the bulk of the power to the stereo when the engine is off to avoid battery drain?

Cheers,

Ben

Any thoughts are appreciated

Isn't the fix here the usual vag one whereby the permanent live and switched live simply need to be swapped over in the connector as vag vehicles have them reversed compared to others?
