could anybody help me fitted my new blaupunkt kingston mp47 today and works great but when i turn off the ignition and lock the car the screen and buttons all flash i dont know whats wrong any thoughts???

ahve you checked all the connectors in the back are wired correctly?

no but i presume they are as it was a straight swap

sounds like the immobiliser is playing havoc - do you have the CL and alarm on your car?

no i dont just have central locking not remote!!

Hmm thats very strange - heres a good one. I fitted my new Blaupunkt iPod cable today, and now if the radio is on, the central locking wont unlock when I take the ignition key out - how strange is that!!!

It may be the K-line on yours - there is a cable VW use to flash the little light when the ignition is off, and that may well cause the havoc...also checkto see that your dash illiumination is at full as this causes issues on mine.

Also, you interested in purchasing a Blaupunkt iPod kit from me? (ive got one just lying about practically un used)

possibly how much do you want for it? money is a bit scarse at the moment! how come you've got two?? nothing wrong with it is there???

got another q also im a total noob when it comes to audio so which of the standard vw speaker wires is negative and which in poitiv out of the blue and brown???

I moved up to a different kind as it wasnt right for my radio. It cost me £70 quid so say £50? Its very easy to fit - you just need to wire the exposed cable to the chunky red cable on the back of your stereo with a crimp so it gets power.

Let me just check the haynes manual.....Brown red is the ground

dont want to sound like a total knob but what does that mean??

its the wire colour. The brown wire with the red stripe is the ground wire basically so the (-) wire and the other wire is the (+)
