      The connects 2 version of interface has ignition switched power out and so does not require a ignition switch power feed. Others or just connecting the radio without an interface will require a switched supply from the fuse box or as some people do on that model take a power feed from the large thick cable that goes to the rear of the heater control panel (please note this is not what I would do).

      Hi.
      With the interface I used their is no need,the interface gives you a ignition switched feed as well as a constant feed.
      However if you need a switched feed the correct way would be to fine a circuit in the fuse box that is switched. You could 'bodge' the switched feed from the thick red power wire from the rear of the heater panel(mentioned in the video and pointed out to help).

      Well it could be that you have it set to Apple play instead of universal Android(Apple play only works with Iphone) or from what you describe it might be faulty. If it lets you go from DAB to Spotify and then won't go back to another source something is not right.
      Two things to check 1.Make sure the microphone jack is in the correct socket on the rear. 2.Have you either connected the green wire from the 490dab to the handbrake switch or earthed it(crimp it to the black wire from the rear of the 490dab).

      Only three wires will effect power,black(earth),yellow(power) & red(power) so seeing as the only one you have had to add is the red power cable I suggest you start with that one and make sure power is getting to the radio. Double check all your connections and the fuses.

      PJs projects I've connected the red cable to the red cable coming off the cigarette lighter. Is that right or am I doing something totally wrong?

    • @PJsprojects
      @PJsprojects  Před 6 lety

      I would suggest finding a switched live at the fuse box but as a test pop the heater control panel out by pushing the two metal tabs upwards(radio needs to be removed to see them). on the rear of the heater control panel you will see a large connector with a bunch of wires,find the thick red one and tap into that for a switched power. If your radio powers up you then know your radio is working ok. Make sure to then find a switched accessory circuit in the fuse box for a permanent fix.

      PJs projects it works fine but have to physically turn it on by the on/off button. It just doesn't come on when I turn the ignition key.

    • @MrBenidge
      @MrBenidge Před 6 lety

      Interestingly I followed your idea and put the red power cable to the red cable that powers the fan control. It now turns on and off with the ignition. However the memory wipes every time!? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    How does the dab aerial work? Is there no way of adapting the existing one already fitted in the car?

    • @PJsprojects
      @PJsprojects  Před 7 lety +1

      Hi.
      The dab aerial sticks to the window screen and has two connections,one is a simple reception plug and the other is for power,this is connected to the electric aerial output of the radio which is normally the blue wire. I have seen a couple of items described as converters for normal aerials but these tend to be very low quality and do not give a good reception.
      Anyone going for the increased quality gained by installing a dab radio should not skimp on the aerial.

    • @oliverwilson-hall4675
      @oliverwilson-hall4675 Před 7 lety

      PJs projects thanks for getting back to me! So it's not worth converting an astra h aerial then?
      I guess the window aerials are cheap enough, I just don't see how they'd be better than the ones already on the car, apart from compatibility issues etc..

    • @PJsprojects
      @PJsprojects  Před 7 lety

      Think of it like this,converting the Astra aerial is trying to go around the problem,fitting a £15 dab window aerial is curing the problem.
      You see the Astra aerial is designed for analogue signals where as dab aerials are designed for digital signals.

    • @oliverwilson-hall4675
      @oliverwilson-hall4675 Před 7 lety

      PJs projects fair enough, thanks. :)
      I guessing it's to do with the fact the original aerial is powered or filtered in some way for fm frequencies?

    • @PJsprojects
      @PJsprojects  Před 7 lety

      Yes the original is powered,it has a booster built in the base section.

      You can buy a display adaptor from a company called Connects 2 that will solve this problem but be aware they are around £80. Other than that your stuck with this problem on an aftermarket radio.
