Got a new stereo for Peugeot today, wanted Bluetooth and DAB. Purchased a cheap Pioneer. Purchased the adaptor and got home removed the old one. Put all the wires in and turned on, no sound.
So through a process of elimination I discovered that there can’t be the correct power. If I unplug the antenna the unit has no power, plug it in again powers up again, searches for stations etc, but no sound. So it must be drawing power off the powered antenna.
So I have a look in the fuse box and in there there’s an obvious aftermarket in line fuse holder, strange ? Looking at the plug that connected the old unit all the wires appear to of been cut and resoldered at some stage. Can’t see Peugeot soldering every single wire leading into a plug.
Now the guy at Halfords did say that the power in in Peugeot’s doesn’t always work and needs to be wired in. Should add the old unit was working so can’t blame the live feed.
So what the hell do I do now ? Where the heck do I wire in a live from ?
