Hi All

My dashboard radio/dvd was draining 0.9amp's (so i'm told by an auidio electrician ) and was draining my SB. This was a fault in the radio/dvd player.

I would like a radio/dvd player that will work via the LB/Mains hook up as well as when driving as to not be soley off the SB.

Is this possible and any suggestions on radio/dvd around £100-£150?

or shoud I go for roof mount? again any recomendations?

thanks for your help

Yes! This sort of problem has been heard of before and is not the normal situation, however its difficult to be sure which makes / models are the cause of excessive current drain!

If you do a search like this one "fitting and dvd" and request Topics it will give you a list of all the discussions with those two words in it, there is a lot of discussion as its a common theme!

Brilliant - many thanks

By the way - any stereo will work of the LB - it's just a matter of how you wire them up. Whether it will be powered by the hookup depends on whether your hookup wiring powers/charges the battery/12v circuit.

many thanks for that

I have my interior lights radio and blinds all from the lesuire battery.

That way i i stop at a pub and have a couple of drinks i can get in the back of the van and sleep it off and listen to the radio if i wish that way if the boys in blue come around the keys are not in the ignition so in theory not in control of the van while over the limit.
