Guys, I picked up one of these recently and it comes with a plug and play radio harness and can bus etc but part of the installation calls for a particular wire to be connected directly to a particular fuse within the fuse box.
But I'm just wondering if these are universal fitting instructions and would the plug and play radio harness over rule the need to connect directly to the fuse box?
It's one of those dynavin style units.
Thanks.
Here's a pic

Have it sorted gar. Turns out they all need a permanent live to hold memory. So it seems this is how it's done. Hopefully get it fitted in the next week or two.
Makes sense would lose your time settings ,radio stations etc otherwise
Look forward to the pics
It needs one permanent and one switched power source otherwise battery will go flat.
It's 99% plug and play mock using the harness snap on adoptor. This one wire is the only one that needs to be spliced as such. It also came with reversing camera, not looking forward to chasing that wire!Originally Posted by GERMANIKS
There is no switched power on the OEM radio plug.It's 99% plug and play mock using the harness snap on adoptor. This one wire is the only one that needs to be spliced as such. It also came with reversing camera, not looking forward to chasing that wire!
If that is the case as you are saying, that means the radio has a switched power detection mechanism and in that case detect when voltage oes goes from 14.x to 12.x and goes to sleep shortly after that unless you press the button if the car is stopped.
Enjoy and keep us posted with pics.
looks like a nice piece of kit. would you be interested in selling your old radio?
Nah, I'll keep it so I can return to oem when selling.
