I live in the UK and I have a Pumpkin ND0294B. Configuring the software in the car (trying out various pieces of software etc.) is a bit of a ball ache. Is there such a thing as a head unit-to-UK mains adaptor I can buy?

Fair points! Would a short in one of them cause all four to stop working but allow the head unit and subwoofer to continue working fine? As getting the door off will be a big job for someone inexperienced, what should I be looking out for if accomplished?

I guess my question would be why do they work (when they do work!) until I turn the car off, then not again when I turn it back on? (at least for a few days or weeks, when they sometimes magically reappear)

The head units continue to work perfectly, and continue producing sound to the subwoofer. For the record, I've really appreciated your help. I was hoping that, as the resistor thing seemed to work for a month or so, that different resistors would fix it (as this was something I could install...

Things are always more complicated than shown in YouTube videos when it comes to cars. Tried things in the past. I know for a fact watching a video on 'removing the door panels on a Peugeot 308' video would not work out as I'd have an issue that is not covered in the video (e.g. screws not...

I wouldn't have a clue. I've tried to see if anyone lives nearby (within a 100-mile radius) of myself (I'm in South Staffordshire/West Midlands) on caraudio.com, talkaudio.co.uk, diymobileaudio.com and caraudioforumz.com but I'm having no luck :(

The local places around here charge £40-45 per hour to assess (and they tell me it'll take a few hours to do that) so I'm already paying £150 just for them to look at it. I'm quite simply not paying that because I don't like to be actively ripped off. My memory is abysmal and this audio issue...

No idea to any of those as it was the previous owner who installed the speakers. I don't want to open the door paneling in case I can't get them back on and garages cost a fortune. I don't know what an ANC is. Often, it'll work once (for the journey) then when I next turn the car on, it...

I've tried three head units, different makes and models (including a Pioneer MVH-A200VBT), and I get the same issue on all. In fact, all three, including the one above, show 4-8Ω, so the speakers mismatch. Do you live in the UK, by any chance?

Is the head unit's built-in TDA7851L amplifier not good enough?

I am new to electronics/audio. The previous owner of my Peugeot 308 (2012) installed the Focal IFP 207 audio kit. I have tried three separate head units (different makes and models) but could never figure out why the sound kept dropping out. Turns out it was the resistance of the speakers in...

I really appreciate your comment :) It turns out it was an impedance issue and some resistors fixed it.

I bought a Pioneer MVH-A200VBT (£130) today and installed it. Driving to some shops (20 minutes away), everything was fine. After shopping, I turned the engine on and had the same familiar fault - could only hear the subwoofer. After a few seconds, the head unit started to flash: AMP Error...

When I bought my Peugeot 308, someone had installed some aftermarket Focal speakers. I think they're causing issues with my various head units. I've asked various times in the forums but it comes down to me needing to be able to test the cabling, the electricals etc., which I have no idea how...

No soldering or heat shrinking was needed, everything just plugged in. I am guessing the chunky cable that seems to be going behind the steering wheel assembly came with the car when I bought it from the previous owner. When I bought this new head unit, I needed to buy a Peugeot/Citroen ISO...
