is your camera one of the number plate ones?

 

if so could it not be the power supply to light up your number plate?

Thats the jobby , if you see it has a seperate power lead , red plug , but the 5mtr rca cable has a thin red wire offf each end not shown in piccy.. odd

 

cheers

I found this diagram with the 2 red wires in question numbered 1 and 2

 

 

but i can say that they are not needed and you dont need to do anything with them

Bingo !

cheers

Thinking of getting one of these seen a few on ebay. Quick question I've noticed the mic is on the left. Do you have any problems with voice clarity etc. due it being so far away on a standard rhd car. Plus where did you mount the GPS antenna and has that ever had any problems with signal.

I have my gps ariel sat on the dash in the lower right by the windscreen no probs with pick up run the cable down the side and under the dash and up throug the radio housing i have an external mike on mine which i have wedged in between the dash and steering colume perfect pick up .

Can the standard mic in the roof console be used with this unit

Did u take the two small screws out the top that hold the cd drive safe during delivery?

[vince_13]

no dont think so, as there was nothing underneath it i didnt think they were significant so didnt touch them

Could be that then, mine had two little scres in the top of the unit above the drive, took them out before I fitted.

If they've used shipping screws I'm surprised they didn't have warning stickers or tabs on them.

[vince_13]

what would they be for though? i dont remember anything saying to remove them before fitting,

Cd trays can bounce around in transit and mess up the alignment.
Older Ford6 disc radios used to have a keyhole on the top for a big green plastic shipping plug
