Nothing to do with the radio ,
Its the stupid wiring system from Fiat ,You have to switch over the ign and
constant power wires .
Cant quite remember the colours but i think its Red and Yellow.

There are two red wires (although one has a stripe on PIN 4)

I have a picture though this should help?

I experimented with the PIN by covering them with paper to block them
from making contact to see what would happen - results given on the
picture.

Also notice how some wires are thick and some are thin

Can anyone give further advice now based on this picture?
