David P Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 The cig lighter isn't on until the first click of the key so it'll need wiring in. This works for me. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/131088404576?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ythomit Posted January 18, 2014 Author Share Posted January 18, 2014 The cig lighter isn't on until the first click of the key so it'll need wiring in. Hi. I just checked and the cigar lighter works without using the key at all. Is that a fault ? Could it be causing the battery to go flat quicker than it should ?

charlton Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I had the same, couldn't leave it a week without the battery dying. Swapped out the head unit making sure the next one was wired in properly and it started first time this morning after 3 weeks of sitting on the drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayfun.tugra Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 What I found so far was the alarm wire to bonnet open/close switch. Every time I would wiggle it, it would sound the notification beep. Usually it should only been when the button is released. Didn't have time to inspect further as I stumbled into this while dark.
