A3 8PA - Aftermarket HU - Ignition

[daVolian]

Hello all,

I am a new member so hi there. I own an A3 8PA, 2008 model. I recently installed an aftermarket HU, a JVC, replacing my Concert 3 (I think). Anyway, at this moment the aftermarket HU has to be manually turned on/off since that action won't be done with the help of the ignition.

Now I read some stuff which say that I could pull a wire from the fuse box and make it work more normally, like turning on the HU when I start the car, and turning it off when I get my key out.

I don't really know the specificity of this, what wire to pull for instance so that everything would work normally. If someone knows this and can help out would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers!

Check if the jvc has canbus pins, if not then fuses 1-11 in fuse box drivers side end of dash are ignition switched & best to use a spare slot, not piggyback.
