Hey everyone,
My B5 unfortuntley had some bodged wiring to install an aftermarket radio
Luckily, I managed to find a geuine loom with the right connectors so I bought that and wired it up. Speakers work but I've got one issue.
When I take the key out of the ignition, my radio stays on. Now I should mention the power ISO connector wasn't cut, so I didn't need to wire it but I did notice that I'm missing switched power when I compared it to a friend's connector who also has a B5. After a bit of reading, I believe that switched power should be a red wire? I couldn't find one daggling anywhere behind the console so I decied to make my own switched power by using an add-a-fuse connector, I decided to use the horn's fuse becuase this is switched power.
However, after wiring it up, my radio still stays on after the key is removed.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Here is my radio's power connector diagram (genuine Audi radio)
Here's my power connector, the solid red wire being the one I added
And here is my friend's connector
