Hi all
Just brought a 54 plate berlingo van for work.there was no stereo in so I fitted a new one but it won't turn off when I turn the engine off but it will with the off button on the stereo? Also the aerial reception is terrible it will pick up a local station but not a national one .
Any help would be great thanks

Hello Stokie welcome to the forum .Do you lose the memory when you turn the radio off ?

Must be a Stokie derived issue as I too live in Stoke and mine will not switch off when I turn the engine off but it doesn't lose memory..... Try driving to Crewe or Stafford and see what happens

I fitted a pioneer unit today using just the car harness plugged into the pioneer one. I switched over the red and yellow wires in the pioneer harness and the stereo runs for five mins after you switch the car off.
Any ideas? Should I have used a different harness?

I got an additional adaptor from halfrauds today, spliced the live wire into the lighter socket live and it's working perfectly.
Happy days!

for future reference, you don't need any extra blocks from hell frauds... just a multi meter and swap some pins in the original block, you certainly don't need to use the cigarette lighter feed, its in the iso block already....
