Clarion PU-2294

did you have a tape unit fitted before if so you will need to swop around the ignition and constant feed wires as the are different thus resetting the unit every time you switch off

Yes, it was an old clarion tape radio. Thanks for the reply. How would I go about swopping the two wires?

Cheers

Hi,

Search for ISO radio wiring with Google, or trust me : from memory the +P wire (should be yellow or orange) must be at the right of the +APC (red wire) when looking at the back of the connector.

What car is it ? I'm assuming a 406 ?

Thanks everyone!

I've sorted out the code problem.

However, the cd still won't work when the engine is running! The radio does, I don't understand??? Can anybody help?

Cheers

Hi,

Dirty or unreadable CD ? I don't know this model, I have never tried it, have you performed a test with a pressed CD (i.e not a homeburnt CD) ?

Next idea (not sure it will sound good to you), dirty CD lens*. I saved a PC's CD burner for that reason. To clean a CD lens, open the case (could be the step 0) then with a earstick (sorry don't know the term, you certainly have this kind of sticks with cotton at both ends to clean you ears) disposed in some alcohol (the "medical" alcohol, say 70% or 90%, I don't know what is available in UK), clean the lens. Let it dry (some seconds are enough) refit, replug, test. If it works, take your car, drive around your block and shout "GT is great" :-)

• Errrr, perhaps I should add it, it seems the dirty lens problem is more likely to happen if the previous owner was a smoker.
