i bought a new stereo(one of the touchscreen ones from china) and it came today, so i took my old one out and proceeded to connect the new one up. everything is reletatively straight forward cos it just plugs together with the iso connectors( i already had a double din aftermarket stereo so it really was a straight swap) anyway the problems started when i had to connect the three remaining wires, a pink one a orange one and a blue one. now the pink one connects to ground so that was no problem, the orange one connects to +12v so that was no problem but the blue one says 12-out and i havent got a clue what that means but the worst bit is that when you turn the ignition on it just comes up with a blue screen and in the top left corner it says CAR and a - sign in a triangle

blue screen


wiring dia


any help would be fantastic

isnt the blue a remote for amp ect? 12 out means 12v supply out, what did you use for the pink ground?

the pink is so you an use the dvd with the handbrake off, ive figured it out, what i had done was connect the rear view camera up at the stereo end but i hadnt connected it up at the other end so it looks like it was looking for the camera, so i unplugged the camera altogether(orange wire) and the stereo works now

when i get round to putting the camera somewhere i will connect the rest up

cheers anyway snake
