if you wire the accessory to the sunroof fuse then you can listen to the radio in both the acc and on position along with the key in. you also should retain the rap feature that keeps it on 10 mins after turning off the car

theres no fuse in there though and when we did try it when we bought the fuse it wouldn't work to begin with.. like ti won't even stay in place because theres no metal in there to hold it into place. also the screen is now saying "caution: screen image may appear reversed" and idk what that's about either..

does anyone know why it's saying the screen image may be reversed because it won't let us do anything while it says that..

there wasn't a fuse in the sunroof fuse, and i don't think theres anything even back there because it won't hold the fuse tap in.
We ended up using a switch for the bypass

Did you pay for it with your debit card or credit card? If you did call your credit card company or go to the bank and do a charge back. Tell them "the item didn't work as they advertised and they wouldn't return it or exchange it"

reset the unit... make sure the reverse wire isnt getting power. Thats either a setting in the unit or the reverse wire getting voltage. there should be a small reset button in the front

not really. you can tap the main acc wire for the car but you wouldnt retain the rap feature.

damn u might be screwed then if the wiper fuse doens't work and the sunroof isnt there (which is uncommon but a few have had it happen) and u want to keep the "rap" feature. You can try locating the RAP wire in the kick panels but i dont know if u will have that either

ya the wiper fuse will come on with the car now but it won't keep all my settings. all i care about is it coming on when i turn the car on and keeping all my settings each time, instead of going through the demo and having to manually go through the channels each time!

double check the acutal power ur getting if ur settings are being reset. either the fuse or connection somewhere on the acc is loose and messing it up or something bad with the constant

could it be that there's a problem with the sunroof fuse itself? since everyone says thats where it should go since i don't have one but it's not working there...
