well i had the wires round the other way but it wouldnt turn on at all like that so looking at the wiring for the saxo and the wiring for the head unit thats the only way it would work, I was just wondering if that is standard for saxos to be wired like that?? as the standard head unit when it was in lit up when the lights were on but it worked normally when the lights were off till i sawpped units, its not a problem was just wondering

I can take a look for you if you fancy a drive down to Taunton mate? Unless youve sorted the problem.
