Hi just bought my first BG and i got a question
The stereo fitted is a reasonable Goodmans one but who ever fitted it was a moron as they haven't put a cage in so it moves around. this will only be temporary until i get my kenwood one back (long story for another post), problem is the goodmans unit doesn't switch on. checked the fuse is fine. so pulled it out expecting to find an ISO adapter as I thought it would have one, should it have ISO connectors? the ISO connector attached to the back of the stereo has been butchered and spade type connectors used for all the connections. i read some where that there is no proper earth for the BG as standard and I couldn't find one is this right? you have to put one in thru the body not much of a problm as the metal chassis beind the console should work ( tested with a continuity tester ). i've discovered which wires are the ignition and dimmer feeds but i can't find a constant 12v feed for the memory. I am i going to have to run one from the fuse box or the ignition barrel or should there be one? on my vw golf there was no switched live only a constant 12v so i just soldered the memory wire from the stereo on to that, but it seemed to give me some problems in that often my settings would be erased and obviously if i do the same i'll lose everything everyti,e i switch off the ignition any thoughts? Sorry if my explaination is verbose or difficult to understand
