Hey guys first time for me here. Had a quick question with changing the unit. I have a Panasonic in dash dvd, when in my old car the screen would auto open when i started the car and auto close when i shut the car off. I installed the deck in my Cobalt yesterday with the help of the forums here(awesome info) but the screen will auto open when I start the car but wont auto close when I shut the car off i have to do it manually. Just wondering if anyone had the same prblem or any suggestions on what it may be,

Thanks guys!!

 

usually an option somewhere... mine can do the same.

 

have it set on auto just cant figure out why it opens when i start the car but doesnt close when i shut the car off.

 

hmm... i dunno.. we're a authorized panasonic dealer, and i call their techsupport alot... they're usually pretty good too...
just have to wait till monday

 

Doesn't your radio stay on after the key is turned off then go off when you open your car door?

 

ya it stays on till i open the door its just the screen stays up even after i open the door

 

Are you positive that you wired the power and accessory wires right. They would prevent the screen from closing if the head unit still isnt recieving power to close the screen.

 

I tapped into the sunroof fuse using a fuse tap that came with the harness. I read that is ok but please advise if that is wrong but thanks again for the reply.

 

The sunroof fuse is fine but what I was saying is there is usually a yellow line on a stereo and then a red line that I believe usually says ACC if your mix those 2 lines up it will cut the power to the unit instead of sending it a signal for it to turn of but still have power to be able to close the screen.

 

is it red -red and yellow - yellow or they opposite. My old car was the yellow 12v memory wire to red power not sure if the cobalt is the same or not.

 

The wire that comes from the sunroof should be the ACC wire and the wire from the harness should be the yellow 12v I believe.

But technicaly if your head unit is keeping its memory then I doubt you crossed the wires but its something to look at
