| I take it this is with aftermarket ICE - the standard Symphony does this by default. Faye |

| So does my aftermarket Clarion. It's a fairly common feature. Sounds like maybe your permanent live and your switched live are back to front.

| If it is the standard Symphony unit, mine stopped switching itself off, there could be two causes - the IGN setting on the stereo needs to be set to ON, or a blown S Contact Fuse in your fuse box. |

| Yes it is an aftermarket radio, which wires are ignition and permanent ? I do have a multimeter, so I can always try the voltages on them. Which fuse ? |

Red = Batt Yellow= ignition They are the other way round on VAG cars.. so you either need an adaptor, or most new H/Us have bullet connectors on those 2 so they can be swapped round (my DEH77MP did)

| Got my multimeter out, looked at the connectors, and noticed that the battery live was split into two, and went to batt live and ign live, so I guess that's that. Unless of course, I find an ign live from somewhere (any ideas - felicia S reg) and route it back to the radio. (Would also love to do the same thing to the cigarette lighter, as I constantly leave things plugged in) |

| If you are missing the switched line and you cant find one, it maybe easier to run a new piece of wire (with fuse inline) from where the wires connect to the ignition barrel to the back of the radio. Just find the one that comes on in ign pos. 1 The reason the octy is like has been described (mine is same) is that we have no ign. pos 1. We put key in ignition, then the first setting you come to is the one with all the warning lights, then starter.
