[QUOTE="PNotts, post: 8704193, member: 679620"] Good Morning, I hope you are well. I need some assistance please with my head unit in my card, a Ford Mondeo 2009 TDCI. Recently the factory installed cd6000 started switching off, aux not working , so as it was on its way out I thought I'd change it. However I am having even bigger issues with my Android Head Unit now. When it's plugged in it drains all my battery but this doesn't always work either and switch on. I read somewhere that cutting the permanent live is a good way of stopping the drain but I'm also worried about it not switching on all the time so think there is more to it. Yesterday I took a multimeter to the power pins to see what is coming through. I was unable to take the pins out but was able to take measurements which are below. Pin 9 - 3.4V (engine on) - 0V when off Pin 10 - 0V on or off Pin 11 - 0V on or off Pin 12 - 0V on or off Pin 13 - 0.68 (engine on) - 0.6 engine off Pin 14 - No cable Pin 15 - 0V Pin 16 No cable The above don't really seem right to me, would I get different readings if I took the pins out and ensured I had a proper connection with the probes? I have never really had anything to do with changing/checking audio so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If anybody needs any photos or for me to check anything happy to do this and upload for help Thank you, Philip [/QUOTE]
