irishgirl2001 Unregistered guest | On my Ford OE head unit it would work without the ignition on or key in. I put in a JVC MP3 unit using a wiring adapter (JVC is ISO) and now the ignition has to be on to activate the unit (it will eject cds etc without). Is there a quick way to bypass the need for ignition to turn on the unit? |
