One of the wires on the harness shorting on metal somewhere?

if it's the fuse in the back of the unit itself then it's probably had it

Thanks i will check the wires on the harness

yeah its the fuse in the back of the cd player, wont be happy if its had it only had the cd player couple months brand new.

Checked all the wires and they look fine to me

would get multimeter on the power and see what both are pulling, pop it into a halfords n plug it into test rig and see if it does the same. if its only couple of months old you'll still have warranty

I just hope you never had it fitted by Halfords...... They are brain dead and incompetent (With no disrespect to competent Halfords employees)

I had to redo a wiring for the HU and Subwoofer on a friends Golf as the Halfords guy left all the wiring across the top of the engine and hanging, not secured properly...

But back to your problem, remember to also test the wiring coming out of the stereo in the ISO adapter,
