    you need to get your voltage tester out

    you need to find out if you have an ign feed to the radio

    if there is no ign feed to the radio you will need to take the feed from the lighter below the radio

    Actually heres some info, i wired it correctly when you turn the ignition nothing, but if i change the wireand put the red wire from the dvd player which is power obviously to the yellow wire in vectra which is battery the power button illuminates on dvd player, but nothing happens when you switch it on, the only prob being is it stays illumninated when removing key from ignition. help!!

    sounds like you need the same power to both wires,not just one or the other,have you got a wiring diagram with the unit?? that might help....

    Looking at the diagram, black in earth, yellow is battery (think I took a feed from the glovebox), red is acc (feed off the ciggy lighter), at least thats where I took the power for my I-pod adapter but thats not needing too much juice.

    If it were mine i'd test it by connecting direct to the battery to prove it works
