Take a feed from the electric windows or ciggy lighter (which is ignition switched) and replce the permamnent live that is normaly switched in other cars. Done this on both my Coupes and Punto

Seriously I changed the factory Clarion for a Sony HU (which are by no means the best car stereos) but the difference was amazing. Easier to tune too

Anonymous Unregistered A	At least in can be done then, though not by me! I'm not fiddling with the lectric stuff. bockers - i dont find the clarion too bad really, better than a lot of car stereos. I think its because it tells me to 'take care' and 'buckle up' when i switch it on and off. Its like a friend.........
