Cannot get the dvbt unit to power up, Got the red and balck wires lived and earthed up but reading your thread i dont think ive got the skinny little brown wire earthed up, ill go out and check it soon.

Tony two other things mate it will not power up unless the remote wire is in place too and you need batteries in the black and silver remote bud! As mike wired it in I'll assume he has the correct live wire attached? I had that wrong too that's why I fiddled on for 2 days with it!
I have a hunch tho it may well be down to your remote wire!! That brown wire then goes to EARTH mate......incidentally where has he positioned your DVB box mine is behind the glove box so kept having to get that out too hahaha

I asked Mick to put it in the glove box along with the ipod lead, that way its easy to get to them.
The GPS has gone in the roof above the passenger door and the aerial routed to the rear screen

Ive put 2 new batteries in the DVBT remote. The brown wire shall i splice that to the black earth wire?

Well that easy enough then mate I hid my gold unit away yours is a more sensible idea I guess:!!
Yes Brown wire to Earth (was your remote wire in the unit as I said it won't power up unless that's in too)

Yes mate all the wires are connected to the gold unit, the only thing i can think of is the little brown earth wire, im going out now to splice it the black earth wire. Stand by to call 999

[twaters63]

Ok my man go for it! I have to say the day mine finally got sorted that too was connected might well be your problem then great feeling when the little red LED fires up on the box

Dam wired up the brown to the earth and still nothing
iPod sounds great, DVD perfect, radio reception not to good

You need a multi metre check on your live wire then Tony ( can I ask where he spliced into your live )
