hey, Ive got an aftermarket pioneer headunit, and relevant adaptoor wiring loom from dynamic sounds - Ive used the red cable as per the instructions to run to the fuse box
https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/volkswa ... g-kit.html
I can get it to power up using the cigar lighter fuse, but it seems that the cigar lighter on the polo doesnt go off when you turn off the ignition, meaning its the old problem of the headunit staying on and draining the battery
can anyone suggest another fuse i can use that is ignition based? I dont have a meter to check myself, and randomnly trying them hasnt yielded any results
thanks

Re: fuse box question re aftermarket stereo
switch the yellow and red wire?
Re: fuse box question re aftermarket stereo
sorry, not following you, switch them in what way?
Re: fuse box question re aftermarket stereo
If it's like a Citroen C1 you swap the the red and yellow bullet connections over so for both you get one end is red and the other end is yellow.
RED---------------YELLOW
YELLOW----------RED

So tried the yellow/ red swap and made no difference, power still constant
Any advance?
