Hi,
I recently purchased a new Sony radio for my van. I have installed it and it works when the ignition is on and switches off when the ignition is switched off. My problem is that I want to be able to use the radio when we are camping and the ignition is off. I've identified both the switched live and the permanent live and these are connected correctly as per the instructions. I have also tried switching them, but the radio will only either work off the ignition or manually, but not both??
The factory fitted radio in my car works both ways so whay won't my new aftermarket radio? Any electric wizzards out there who know how to sort this? can I connect the radio to my leisure battery as well as the starter battery so I can use it while camping?
Dave.
