My friends 1.0 lubo wont power any headunits. We put an aftermaket one in and it played for a few seconds then lost all power. Weve tryed all of th fuses (under the steering wheel and in the head units thats all i could think of) and tryed diffrent headunits. Weve tested the leads comming out ofnthe black and brown connectors with a volt meter and theres no power from any of them with the ignition on or off. Can anyne shed any ligh on this? If not could i connect the power supply to the cigarette lighter for a live feed and aslong as the facias unplugged would this drain the battery. Also there is a 12v cable already fitted for a sub could i shorten this and use it as a power supply for the headunit as speekers wouldnt be a problem to wire in or would this also drain the battery/be to much power for the headunit? Any help would be much appreciated

I've just acquired a 1l lupo and im having to sell my leon cupra since its drinking petrol and ive managed to get 4 points so insurance is ridiculous. i was seeing if dropping a 1.4 into a 1.0 lupo would be straight forward as in the engine mounts and engine bay would be the same? Cheers, Ali
