Yes they are.... if both sides not lighting up I would say it's a wiring issue.

I have fitted steering wheel to head unit adapter and it is working fine. Do the steering buttons take power from radio i had a ccr2006 [e] fitted dose anyone have a wiring diagram showing radio & steering wheel controls.

PS i did not connect the blue so as the date stays on could that have any thing to do with it.

Thats exactly why, the illumination power comes from the aux out of the radio.

Is the radio reception any good?

To confirm - you've fitted aftermarket stereo, and the date disappears when you turn it on, and you want it to stay there?

No the date dose not disappears when i turn the radio on, what i found was that if i conneted the blue wire the date tuned off when i tuned the radio on. So what i need to know is ,
1] if i re-connet the blue wire iwill the lights on the steering wheel light up
2] how bo i then stop the date from turning off when the radio is on

hope i have explaned it ok :-/

Right. To prevent date turning off when stereo switched on (assuming that everything is wired correctly!), you need to have the MID programmed to say now stereo.

This is certainly possible with older type MID, who need to check on newer type, but I guess it would be similar.

Can we have a go on mine, the radio display on my MID has always been blank, was thinking it would be nice to have the date always there.

Hi, I too fitted an aftermarket stereo complete with Autoleads steering wheel adaptor, I have lost the lights on the steering wheel controls, is it easy to get the lights working again?
