R11CH T

Trying to install a new Motorola Bluetooth Car kit but after I connected everything up when to start the car and they battery was flat........

What have I done wrong.........??????

I am assuming that I have shorted something. I wired the kit in the following manner..

I ran the power off the stereo cables

The Ignition came off the RED Stereo Cable
The Positive Primary off the YELLOW Stereo Cable
and the earth off the BLACK

Any ideas??

Sounds like you've wired it to permanent power supply and not switched so it's contantly on. Red is permanent, yellow switched so swap your wiring over.

Thanks REV.......Gonna rip the HU again and have another go

actually, red should be permanant, black is earth, blue is ignition, and yellow is mute, if you look at the small box that the leads were in, it's printed on it
