Silver! Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 You'll have to turn it on every hour or so as you have no canbus signal to tell it to stay on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver! Posted March 4, 2012 Report Share Posted March 4, 2012 Mr ColinG ran one on his old GTI for a while and had tthis issue. I asked a local audio fitter (do all Audi work) and they said there was no workaround. OK if you're only doing short journeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Werrett Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 after it turns off after one hour can u just push the power button to pop it back on again or does it not turn on at all till ignition off and bk on?as even if u went on a 2 hour drive u only need to just push the button turn it back on again which you may lost odd second or two which i be happy with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philplop Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Lupos aren't canbus. I believe the rcd200 just needs turning back on, don't think you need to restart the car. It's probably more an of annoyance than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Werrett Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 (edited) ah may get one then if its only that one or two seconds a song gone to just pop it back on is fine Edited March 7, 2012 by JJ Werrett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pippard 1.0 Posted March 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 What connectors will you need then as they have a weird connector and what about the aerial cable as there isn't a slot in te back for the lupo ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
