wiring help

[tick]

just wired in the autoleads cable for my stereo headunit to allow usage of the steering remote, however, the headunit isnt remembering the stored radio channels or time whe engine is turned off. Consulting the trouble shooting guide for the stereo, it says this is beacuse the wiring to the cars power supply isnt right. The leads are all connected up as they should be, can anyone help?

Red and Yellow cables on head unit connection block

thses are the Switchable and Live power cables, once swapped this will solve you problems

Make sure you do this with the power disconnected, you do not want a short circuit on the car

If I remember swop red and yellow.

Red to yellow and Yellow to red

an what connectors?

 

[Denon]

Remove the yellow and red pin connectors for the head unit connection block (ISO) swap them round, then refit them

have a look at the wiring loom to see what i mean, it's a very easy fix

sorted, got it done cheers folks. Why is it so complicated, and why do the autoleads instructions miss out the bit about taking off the dash, and swithcing over the red/yellow connectors??

email of complaint on way to autoleads for their p**h instructions

why did you have to take the dash off

is it that hard to fit

i was going to buy a HU soon and fit it myself

have to take the dash off if you want to fir the leads to enable the new headunit to work with the present renault steering controller. This is becasue the connection for it is on the rear of the clock display and you need to connect the new lead into it. Its very easy to do though
