Hi Mike,
Yep ignition live to avoid a flat battery. Otherwise the amp might end up running all the time! Thanks guys, good to give something back. I've had plenty of use advice from this forum over the years. Rob |

Brilliant! All done and reception excellent - finding stations I did not know existed.
I spliced into a red wire that according to the diagram on top of the head unit was ACC In - hopefully that was the right one. Thanks again Mike |

Hi Rob, Because I had a few FM stations + DAB as a fallback I had resigned myself to accepting it for what it was.
I had looked at that blue wire and even taped over the bare connector and still the penny didn't drop All good now though Mike |

Okay So
Rob/Jeff So I should tell the factory to put the ANT (blue) into Pin 5 on the one that Matches the Grey ISO? One thing i will mention is that some people change the Antenna leads but I guess that could mean they splice to the blue Sean |

Unless it will cause problems with any other wiring arrangement... earlier cars for example. But as I'm aware they all had an aerial amp. Jeff will likely know more than me on that front.
