Thats what I used the LGW (Light Green White) wire but rather than hack into the car loom I used a crimp connector a la:



Connecting the red wire (that via the adaptor links to the LGW in the grey ISO block which is outlined as being switched live) at one end and the other end of the red wire wrapped over the live feeds for the aerial and unit in the other end. Same for the earth by using the black wire on the adaptor loom which links to the black earth wire on the grey ISO block. Still I get nothing but the unit itself still works fine and only turns on with the turn of the key so the electrickery and signals are still passing through these connectors fine.

The unit isn't faulty as everything else works fine and just as it should. I couldn't be more pleased. However seeing as I have a DVB-T adaptor I would like to make use of it. The only other issue was with Primo but I got that to work and the fact it hangs at the load splash screen is common knowledge and Igo8 non primo still works fine. It just means I have to ensure I shut Primo down before turning off the ignition removing the card prior to start up and pushing it in afterwards to get Primo working properly.
