Wriring an aftermarket HU to behhvve like OEM unit - Amarok

Post by Gti3 »

Hi Guys

I have replaced the OEM RCD-310 in my Amarok with an aftermarket Pioneer Double Din DVD. At the moment I have it wired to 'ignition' i.e. switches on and off with key.

I do however want to wire it to behave the way the OEM radio used to behave i.e. remain on even when the key was turned off all the way and only switch off when the key is removed from the ignition.

Is there a way to do this - please advise.

form the googling i've done it seems i need something called a CanBus ignition generator to do this. Would anyone know any local stockists?

I can only see international stockists thus far....

Try your nearest sound installation shop they should be able to assist in the canbus module that you need.
