Following on from the previous thread at the weekend, i have done all the wiring - power, earth and placed a fuse near the battery.
There is a red light behind the removable cover that flashes (as it should) and the unit will accept Cd's and eject them but the actual unit wont switch on.
This is a new unit and works ok in the Jag so what am i missing?

I haven't seen the rest of the post but I think you'll need 2 "live" feeds to the radio - switched live (ignition) and perm Live (battery)

the stereo mighgt have 3 power wires. black (earth) red (perm live) and yellow (switched)

the yellow one can go to the ignition switch to turn off the stereo when you turn the ignition off, or wired to permanant live (connected to the red one) so that its always on unless you press the power button

possibly has two live supplies

1 for standbye - you have red light + eject
2 for power to play

second one is probably an ignition live

Just a wild guess

Brilliant. Cheers guys. I just read the last post actually and noticed a switch live was noted on there.

Woops

The permanent live is usually to keep the radio's memory powered. The switched live is the one that actually makes it work (I think )

Iv just gone out and wired the live i had into two so it now has permanent live for the moment.
Cheers

is there nothing this site can't handle?!
