Um, if it isnt, then i wouldnt know where the wire would have to be connected to the ignition switch. BUT you could attach it to a positive of something else that comes on with the iginition.

Nah she wont let me as she will get shouted at by him. Cant get a battery charger as he wouldnt let me charge it. Its my grans charger hes got as it is because he doesnt have a car one.

Didnt order any JBL stuff unfortunatly :sad: looking for somewhere to rent atm so havent got the spare cash :cry:

Ok its all calmed down a bit round mine now :laugh:

Went outside and tried starting my car again, started first time :S sometimes i think that its not the battery lol! was giving out 10.5v yesterday and my dad reconed that wasnt enough.

Anyway so i dashed out and got petrol and drove around for a bit and came back having left the house open. DOH!

Nevermind all is well here now. Ive turned on the powersave thing on my head unit and im going to use the meter thing to see if its helped at all.

If it has i wont worry about wiring it to the ignition but if its still the same then im gonna have to piss about tomorrow doing it :sad:

I might try and 'mod' one of the blank dash inserts into a switch if i can :undecided: might be easier than wiring to the ignition but we shall see tomorrow!

Sorry if i got rude in my angryness mate :embarassed:
