Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Car Audio / July 2004Car stereo query
I have just purchased a Pioneer DEH-P5600MP MP3 car stereo and put it in my Saxo. However, unlike the standard factory fitted CD player that was previously in the car, the Pioneer doesn't turn on without the ignition being on. I just wondered why this was and if it could be altered so that the stereo would come on without having to turn on the ignition all of the time? Furthermore, when the engine is switched off, unlike my previous Kenwood MP3 player, the new Pioneer one doesn't remember the last place that it was when playing an MP3, but instead starts from the very beginning of the CD again. Is this because it doesn't have the specific feature that remembers where it was previously, or is it due to something else, like the power not getting to the unit once the engine is off and so it is unable to store its last position in memory? Is there anything I can do so that it does remember the last position? Cheers Andy > I have just purchased a Pioneer DEH-P5600MP MP3 car stereo and put it in my > Saxo.

I would recommend doing this as it can kill your battery. If you really want it on without the key, you could alway wire it up to a small toggle switch and put that on the dashboard so you can turn it on at will. As for the cd track starting over. let me ask you this, does it remember your radio presets? set a radio station on the presets and turn the igntion off. If it goes away when you turn it back on you wired it up wrong and all you have to do is switch to the right way.

When you say ignition, do you mean the hardship of having to put it in position I? > Furthermore, when the engine is switched off, unlike my previous Kenwood MP3 > player, the new Pioneer one doesn't remember the last place that it was when > playing an MP3, but instead starts from the very beginning of the CD again. Sounds like you need to swap the permanent and switched 12v feeds over.

Pretty much, you've connected red to red, and yellow to yellow? If this is true, connect red to yellow and yellow to red and it will work. SignatureDan |
