Hi again guys,

I've given up trying to get my Aura working, so I've put in my old JVC KD-G701 CD/MP3 player. Is there a knack to swapping the red and yellow wires over on the black 8 pin connector, in order to retain memory? The connections are the standard Seat connections like the ones in the main pic of this photo (scroll down):

I have removed the long yellow clip that slots in the side, thinking this may be some sort of release, but I still cannot remove the thick red wire or the yellow/red wire to swap them.

I removed (by force) the 'K-line' No.3 wire, as instructed by Ross Tech, but the wire came out of it's housing leaving the rest inside the 8 pin connector. Obviously I don't want to do that with the other two wires! Is there an easier way of doing this please anyone?

Thanks.

Thanks for that brendy.

Unfortunately I haven't any extension wires, just the basic black and brown blocks which connect directly onto the JVC pins. So, I will have to physically remove the two wires. I don't want to cut them as the red wire is a lot thicker, I imagine more charge goes through this one, so could be asking for trouble if I cut them.

perhaps worth seeing if there is a loom for the jvc then mate rather than cut them risking a short or worse.

I think you could be right brendy. i was just hoping there would be a 'free' option! But, the wires seem to be a right f***** to get out!
