Hey there, been browsing these forums for a while, and finally brought an A3 last week.
Previously in my old car, I had a Pioneer pop out dvd head unit which simply plugged into the cars loom and worked.
I want to put this same head unit into my A3 but am confused by what I need and how I will get it to work.
I have purchased a loom adapter so that the head unit will plug straight in and in theory should work, but I have herd that I need to sort out an ignition live otherwise it will be permanently live and drain the battery?
Can anyone shed some light on this at all? Is wiring one of the power cables to a fuse in the fusebox going to work and be safe?
Thanks,
Dec
