PeteL 0 Posted May 8, 2010 Guys Fitted my Sony headunit today in the VR. It works fine on ignition positions '0' and '1' but on '2' (the last one) and when you start the car it goes off. Car still starts perfectly everytime. Any ideas? Ive done a search but couldnt quite find the same issue. Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smee 0 Posted May 9, 2010 Does it come back on once you turn the key back from the starter position? The starter position turns off unnecessary items to reduce the load on the cars electrics while starting the engine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeteL 0 Posted May 10, 2010 cheers smee yes it does, however you start the car and it remains off. thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swiftkid 1 Posted May 10, 2010 Exactly the same problem and my girlfriend finds this highly amusing, if you move the key a tiny bit further (as if to start it) you can get a sweet position that keeps the head unit on. I believe it is the ignition switch, i've been saying im going to order one for ages but its an absolute bitch to fit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smee 0 Posted May 11, 2010 Yeah, sounds suspiciously like the ignition switch is on it's way out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
