ive just bought a new car and have replaced the factory fitted head unit with a pioneer i took out of my old car, it works perfectly but when i take the key out it stays on, its wired exactly the same as in my old car and t worked fine then, is this a problem with all peugeots? or do i need to wire it differently?
it can be turned off by a button on the radio but will this drain the battery?
thanks tom
To wire a Pioneer head unit, first disconnect the car battery to ensure safety. Connect the wiring harness from the head unit to the vehicle's harness, matching the colors (e.g., red for power, yellow for constant power, and black for ground). If necessary, connect the speaker wires from the head unit to the corresponding speakers, ensuring correct polarity (positive to positive and negative to negative). Finally, secure all connections, reattach the battery, and test the unit before finalizing the installation.
if there are no standard speakers in the back then you will need to wire them in yourself from the head unit, i had the same problem with my 106.
Either your remote wire from you head unit to your amp is broken or not connected properly, you don't have a remote wire, or your head unit is faulty. Try another piece of cable as your remote wire from your head unit, and if it still does not work, your head unit is faulty. To save buying a new HU, you could wire the remote wire to your accessories, but be cautious as you could flatten your battery quickly if wiring incorrectly.
The remote wire on an amp is usually connected to the remote turn-on lead from the head unit or a separate switched power source. This wire sends a signal to the amplifier to turn on or off based on when the head unit is powered on or off. It is typically colored blue on most wiring harnesses.

nightmare, you have to use a peugeot kit that gives an extra control unit, that then has to be programmed to the vehicles BSI.
The ill wire is supposed to be connected with the parking lights of the car. it actually reduces the brightness of your head unit, it is needed because in the night the head unit looks very flashy and the ill wire brings it to a normal level as you turn on your cars parking lights.
Your head unit should have a wire marked as P. Antenna that's the wire you need to connect.
The wire diagram for a Pioneer AVH-P8400BH double din unit typically includes connections for power, ground, speakers, and various audio/video inputs. It usually features a power wire (red) for ignition, a constant power wire (yellow) for battery, and a ground wire (black). Speaker wires are color-coded, and the unit also has inputs for a backup camera, steering wheel controls, and auxiliary devices. For precise wiring, it's best to consult the specific installation manual or a professional installer.
To install an amplifier to an Impala head unit, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal for safety. Connect the amplifier's power wire to the car's battery, ensuring a fuse is installed close to the battery. Run the ground wire to a solid metal point on the vehicle, and connect the remote turn-on wire from the head unit to the amplifier. Finally, connect the speaker wires from the amplifier to the speakers, and reconnect the battery.
The yellow wire with a black stripe on the back of a Pioneer DEH-P6400 is typically the illumination wire. This wire is used to connect the car's dashboard lights to the stereo, allowing the unit to dim or brighten in accordance with the vehicle's lighting settings. Properly connecting this wire can enhance visibility and aesthetics during nighttime driving. Always refer to the specific wiring diagram for your model to confirm its function.
No, connecting the positive output wire of a 4-channel car stereo head unit to another positive wire, and the negative output wire to another negative wire, will not produce more power to a speaker. This configuration could potentially short-circuit the amplifier or damage the head unit. Instead, to increase power to a speaker, you should consider using a dedicated amplifier designed for that purpose or ensure proper wiring and impedance matching for your speakers.
