307 head unit

Hi,

I have changed the head unit in my 307sw for one which plays MP3s, and all works fine, except for it doesn't turn off with the ignition. I can get out of the car, lock it and walk away with the stereo playing, then, after about 3 minutes, it powers down. The standard stereo simply turned off when the ignition was off.

It is not a major problem as it is a face off unit, so it encourages me to remove the face when i leave the car, i just wondered if there was a reason for this. I am aware that the standard stereo 'multiplexed', does this affect the ignition switch though?

the normal ISO connector in the 307 is not pinned out like the ISO standard that aftermarket radio's use, so if it does bother you, you have to get a adaptor plug at your dealer partnumber 9706.86 regards axl

In multiplex 307, the radio/cd can be "manually" turn on even if the key is out and auto switch off when it detect the key turn off. And to save energy, power to it will cut off after 2min of idle, and back on when out of idle (ie open door etc). The aftermarket headunit dont have this comunication with the car to get the off signal when key turn off, another way is instead of using that "blue" power wire, use the ciggarette power, it will turn off when key turn off. If you have Sony HU, there are adapter which will solve this problem and able to use the stalk + in built display.

-cheers

It support any SONY head unit which has Stacker control and the remote input control... it will work with both in built display and the stalk behind the steering wheel. Mine is a sony mp3 head unit... MP3 ID3 tag doesnt shown (everything else shown fine even scrolling cd text), radio memory shown 1 at a time as you scroll through it (not 6 menu like oem). beside from those 2 everything else seem to be same as oem.

: DPGS003 to suit 307 multiplex (double check this to make sure). Iorder one and it work great, a bit pricey convert UK to AU and postage costbut well worth it, geting rid of the ugly OEM head unit and still retain thedisplay and stalk control.
