Reg97 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Hi guys, installed a radio months ago, hooked it up according to a tutorial on here but had the blue and white amp remote bullet connector (in pics below) left out. I connected it to the double bullet yellow wire but I believe that’s a constant 12v, so it was draining my battery. For the past few months I’ve just had to keep my radio fuse out and stick it in whenever I fancy it (basically just on long trips) and then take it out when I get home (or the battery drains overnight) im out of ideas to be honest and I’m hoping somebody can help, local ICE store doesn’t seem interested to be honest. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurez33 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 You got a Bose sound system mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I snipped the bullet connector off the blue and white wire and joined it in to where another blue and white connected on the plugs for the HU. works fine and is no longer drawing power when ignition is not on.... but now the amp behind the drivers seat isn’t working, any Bass in songs is non existent really.

Azurez33 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 The iso adapter you used is that for the Bose system? I had the same issue I bought an adapter from halfrauds but then had to buy a £30 adapter from this really good place on the internet (which I currently can’t remeber where is ) I also had to solder the wire for the remote on the steering wheel and volume etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realised I said Amp in my other post, if the amp wasn’t working there would be no sound at all. But the sub is just not doing owt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurez33 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hmm could be the sub then potentially, either that or the connection to the sub is faulty, maybe have to pull it apart and check resistance reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
