Headunit

[wrigleys]

ok I've installed my head unit so it's permently on even if the keys are no where near it, it's a sony face-off stereo and I was just wondering is there any chance of it over heating or going pop??

[stan1]

i wouldn't leave it like that mate. some day you will forget to turn it off and run the battery dry.
it wouldn't hurt the head unit.

[wrigleys]

whenever I take the face off it turns of but is still on if you get what I mean

i wudnt have thought there would be a problem.. but i dunt expect that there made to be on all the time and like stan said ur guna forget its on sometime and run ur batt out..

y dont u just wire it up so its only on wen ignition is??

Mine is wired to permenant live, so when the ignition is off it still works, but as soon as the face is removed it cuts power, 99% of all head units will not stay powered with face off.

its because its a vauxhall. the wires are difference on a vauxhall and you need an adapter from halfords or chalie brown or somehwere to fix it. The +12v perm and the !2v ignition are in the wrong places, you need the adapter.

[dave.gsi]

can you not cut them and feed them into where they should be???

[ZuG]

yea u can do

or maybe like me u cant be arsed with it turning off when u goto petrol station or having to have keys in ignition when cleaning the car etc
