Does anybody know how to power up an amp using the OEM Head Unit? They have recommended me (thru a priv.) using the ***-lighter power but I dont know how... Anyway... just thought of making my query public so more than one would benefit with the replies...

Thanxabunch!

im just going to wire a bulb to earth and the live wire from the bulb i will connect to one of the live wires and turn on the radio, if the bulb comes on we have found the remote cable for the 6x9 box, wen the radio is turned of the light will go off

:idea: :idea: so to speak :wink:

yeah theres a switched live going to the head unit I cant remember which colour it is but thats where I took my remote connection from. Obviously you take your main power direct from the battery!

 

[andy bassett]

found it plus all the + and - colours if your changing you standard speakers out for after market ones as the standard ones do not state wat is + and - on them.

Polarity Coding for Megane Speakers + Remote Turn-on lead

Hi All.

Yesterday Andy spent hours on messenger with this ignorant soul trying to figure out the polarity of the leads that connect the factory speakers with the factory head unit. Some, like me, might wish to connect upgraded speakers without changing the head unit. Andy also identified the lead that can be used from the HU to turn on amp.

The world says Thank You Andy

Speaker color coding:

Front right: - white and + orange
Front left: - brown and + green
Rear right: - pink and + cream
Rear left: - brown and + green

Remote lead:

The yellow wire next to the big black wire on the power side of the ISO block, just connect to this and run a lead to the rear and you will have a remote lead. Comes on when you start the car and goes of when the radio goes off.

Sent you a PM----- but no. Remone-turn-on is not power. Its just a low power signal to trigger the amp or antenna into turning on.
