carl7777 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 hi guys,thanks for your advice last week about buying a vr6...i got it yesterday and love it so much..i did panic when the temp warning light came on but searched the site and found its a common problem,i give her a good clean and driven it about 100 miles and all seems well...im having problems with the cd player,when i turn the igntion on or off the head unit lights up and sometimes plays....im thinking i have a prob between the head unit and ignition switch,does anyone know if i can thread a wire to the live termenal on the battery to the head unit to check this out cheers,arl Link to post Share on other sites

b road blaster 0 Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 well on the head unit if you pull it out the should be a perm live and switched live so just conect them both to the perm live and see if that works just means you will have to turn the unit on and off each time you use it Link to post Share on other sites
