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.

I'll plug a new style MID into my rig tonight, and see if there is a setting for it.

hi DTM you said   Or cut the wire at the back of the MID.....
which wire would that be ?

Now I would not ever disagree with 'The Great One', but I'm not convinced that would work, as presumably your HU doesn't pass any signals to MID anyway  :-/

The plot thickens ?
  1.  Dose the blue wire not connet to the remote out from the hu.{12v power out when Hu on }
Q 2. How dose the MID know that the blue wire is connected if the  HU doesn't pass any signals to MID

On a CCR2006 equipped car, only blues I can find are audio in and a speaker.

Sometimes I hate being right most of the time.  

Red-white wire, pin 8 of the MID connector.



This is the switched output from the radio which tells the MID that the radio is on....

The reason I also mentioned radio reception is that the switched output from the rad also goes to the aerial amp....and its this that I beleave you have disconnected at the moment.

Ah, Pin 7 on radio, missed that little bugger down there

Sorry ment the blue wire from the Hu but when it connets to the Vx ISO connector the other side is red + white.

UPDATE   NOW I SEE THE LIGHTS

Could'nt wait till weekend to get it working so went out an car and got it working.

What i did was after The Great One {DTM} said Or cut the wire at the back of the MID.....  I thought best way to find out get tester out and found that the red + white wire at the back of the MID PIN 8 powerd up when i re-conneted the blue wire from the Hu to the ISO conneter and  so just cut off an isolated the red + white at the back of the MID.

Thread Hijack Alert :exclamation

is this why my aftermarket head unit (fitted since i've owned car) has never worked properly;
1 Date goes out
2 To get Cd's to play i have to switch between af/ta (alt frq / traf alert)
3 radio reception is always bad (better with rear blind up!!! )

never got round to investigating

Would need a bit more to go on like, radio type, any interface modules, wiring changes etc?
