I wired a sub up in my MK4 ibiza and hooked it all up and when i turned on the car the sub was jus goin du du du du, jus a constant faint beat not relative to song!? Amp light was red, not overloading as go all terminals set to min tis wired up all correctly.

I have a nashville dab head unit with pre out adapters which shudnt effect it (wudnt have thought) now my head unit wont turn off when i take key out of ignition so have to press button to turn off!? I have some how lost my steering wheel controls aswell im so stuck and in need of some one to help me, dnt wnt to go any were and get buggered cost wise plus do a shoddy job....is this vagcom related?

Thanks rory

sounds like you have mixed up the remote wire mate?? Maybe the permanent live and ignition wire...??

 

[ASTI]

Well i had connected the remote to the ignition, but this did nout was workin ok would turn all off etc but still had nuffin from sub. But now it dont turn anythink off

You need to wire the remote to the remote normally a blue colour, and if it does not turn off try swapping the red and the yellow wire around!? Let me know how you get on! Also with the sub double check you have the black ground wire grounded strong and well!

I thought that but ive got so f***ing many blue cables i dunno which one it is, i have got it grounded to my rear light ground point....maybe find a hole in bodywrk and scratch paint off and see

Have a look for a bold or screw in the boot, take it out put 2 washers either side of the wire and screw it in normally works!?
Also the blue wire in the head unit should be on its own and not connected to anything as you have no amp in there before? Try changing the red and yellow 1st and see if that solves the radio staying on and get a picture of the wires at the back of the head unit and I will see if I can work out what one is the remote wire!?

 

[ASTI]

Sweet imma go do that now then, cheers

 

[ASTI]

Well i definatle defined the remote wire, couldnt find a bolt but i place my own in a hole in the body work. Couldnt take those cables out to swap them over, i think the amp mite be not wrking as the, bu bu bu bu sound was coming from the amp coz wen i dsconnected the sub it made that sound from the amp!?
