I believe you are talking about the 'aftermarket radio problem'. Do a search on RossTech website for info.

If you have used the Autoleads afaptor to turn around the two +ve's then you ought to be ok. Many newer interfaces also have in built protection.

If you have used the autoleads adapter you will have no problems. The problem ocurrs when not using the adapter.
