Tigz™ Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 You need to swap the yellow and red wires over this should cure it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 You shouldn't connect the red and yellow wires together - god knows what that'll do...You want to swap the red and yellow wires going to the alpine - so the red input on the alpine is connected to the yellow car wire, and vice versa.You might also want to check you haven't blown any fuses by connecting the two together.

Tigz™ Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Snoop Connecting both red and yellow Alpine wires to the main feed doesnt cause any problems.This is how mine has always been.It just mmeens you can have the headunit on with the keys out the ignition.

Snoopy Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 Sorry, if that's what he did that's fine. I probably misunderstood, but i thought he might have connected the car's red and yellow wires together, which would be a big `no-no`.

Tigz™ Posted January 23, 2005 Report Share Posted January 23, 2005 oh I see. lol Its with him saying he had to connect them together to make it work.As you said it would have fused he'd connected live and ignition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Fitted an 9833R to my Gti a week ago.Connect the red - yellow and the yellow - red and all is fine.Mine originally lost its memory and after the above modification its fine. Also the red from the VW loom is bigger and matches the size of the Alpine yellow cable so no overload problems on the cable and no need to run a lead from the battery for the +ve feed.edit: i didnt read the whole thread until after i posted! Notice the original problem has already been solved but my post can be a seconding of the answer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbr Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Somewhere in my tutorial i'm sure i mentioned that...Remote Central Locking cars - Red to Yellow, Yellow to Red.Key Locking cars - Red and Yellow joined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
