dvd player question

[chris285]

got a jvc dvd player i bought for my new leon, just for putting lots of music onto one disk making things easier and its a single din unit as well

the old cd player that was in was a sony unit which was just for cd's not mp3's hence the change, but the issue i am having is that the new player won't remember where i am on a cd when the engine gets switch off.

i don't think its a wiring issue as the unit works with the ignition off and everything else seems to be working correctly, i had the same issue with a sony unit in my old ibiza with it not remembering disk locations

anyone any ideas at all?

immediate thought is that the red and yellow power cables are back to front on the player (pre car loom). Do you lose your radio stations too?

 

[chris285]

i have not tried storing any just yet as i wasn't sure of the correct process to do so until reading the manual, going to clean my car shortly and get some pictures so i will test it then with the radio stations

yep deffo sounds like red and yellow switched as Coxw said!

Yep just swap them around, easy peasy

 

[chris285]

ok they seem secure in the adapter between the dvd player and the car connectors, however the red and yellow cables do have their own connector half way which still goes yell>yell and red>red

now in which case i guess i can switch them around, but on the yellow one there is a black box between the connector and the adaptor to the car wiring. am i still ok to just swap these round, just concerned about blowing something thats all lol

edit - forgot to say radio stations do not store either

 

[warren_cox]

Just spin them round mate. They are both power cables, its just one is ignition and the other permanent live!

 

[chris285]

nice one, will do that now and also get some pics of the new beast as well while i am at it

 

[chris285]

so much for posting pictures, i can't find my damn usb connector lol

on the plus side my dvd player now functions correctly

Does your usb come from the back of the unit??

The ipod cable for mine comes from the back and I'll need to have it commin into the glove box
Do I need to remove the glove box in order to feed it through into it??
Sorry for hi-jackin!!

Don't think there is a hole as standard to feed the cable through, so it will need to come out so you don't drill something you don't want to.
