Have a strange situation - just wired in a single din stereo however; works great until I put the lights on - stereo goes off and rear lights dont illuminate as bright as what they should do - seems as if it reducing the power. The negative wire at the back also get hot.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: Stereo Wiring
Have you fitted a new ISO converter, or is the one fitted compatible.

Re: Stereo Wiring
No iso just wired direct to existing wires.

Re: Stereo Wiring
Originally it blew a fuse under the bonnet - put in a 30a as a replacement. Still no joy!

Re: Stereo Wiring
If you have the original wiring for the old Japanese radio you will probably need one of these adaptors/converters.

Re: Stereo Wiring
What's a iso
I swapped my jap radio a couple of weeks ago
And just cut off the old block and wired to new radio wires all seems fine
Have I missed something

Re: Stereo Wiring
There is a wire on the radio loom that takes a live feed when the lights are switched on. (Side/tail & dash ilumination.)
I assume it acts to feed a backlight set up on some radios with this feature...?
But with the iso connector on my JVC this serves to dim the screen so as not to be too bright at night... Though this can be.set.
It is possible with your radio set up the earth was shorting through this wire in the loom causing your problem..?

Cheaper by comparison to a race horse...
