Iv wired them so the bright switch operates the red/white illumintaion, and theyre getting lives / earth from stero

BUT, theyre not doing a closing ceremoney, i cant get them to stop beeping, and i dont think theyre remembering peak settings

Make sure youv got a permenant live, sounds like you have'nt connected to permenant live.
Beeping can be turned off, its in the manual, I think you have to hold down gauge button after switching on ignition.

whats a permanant live then if the stereo isnt?

Clock? You'd need a multi-meter to be sure but possibly the cig lighter - sure someone will correct that.

There are usually 2 lives for a stereo. One is switched through the ignition (this one is for powering the stereo) and the other is permanently live (this is used for your preset stations, clock settings etc). Maybe you have used the wrong one!

It may be that you have the wrong one. IIRC the cigarette lighters usually have permanent live

as said to turn off the beeping press gauge button keeping it pressed in then turn on ignition keep pressed in for 5secs,if you have more than one gauge you will have to repeat for all gauges.

they only have open ceremony not closing ceromony.

mine are wired into the radio loom and works fine. i reckon you`ve got the 2 live`s round the wrong way

and they do have a closing ceromony
