Phone Kit Help

**jonnye** · 10th March 2006, 16:02

Just tried fitting my phone kit to the car, found the phone lead, got the right connector (same as my old Saab one) but there is no power comming out of the lead, does the phone kit have to be set up by vauxhall to work?

Hi, jonny what phone kit have you got

If you're connecting into the built-in cable, it worked first time on my car (April '04 3.0 CDTi Elite). Maybe a fuse?

When I first started fitting phone kits for a living I used to always get caught out on Vauxhalls using the VDA lead, used to forget you need the ignition switched on for it to work.
