xtronns 7 inch gps stereo

[patrol2.8]

Ive got one of these xtrons dvd gps 7inch units running ozi in my car problem is everytime I switch the car off I have to restart ozie is there a way to I can keep power to the unit when im 4wding so I can keep ozie running thinking I could run a switch to the radio side of the power from the spare batt would that be safe

Not familiar with that unit Yendor would be your best

Edit:: It might have to be wired with a constant power source

Do you loose all your radio station programs as well?

Sounds like you haven't got a constant 12v connected to the radio and everytime you switch off you loose all memory. You still the wiring diagram in the instructions. That should show you which wire should be constant 12v and which is the switched 12v

On my eonon it was a thicker yellow wire going to battery (constant 12v)

I don't lose channels all is good that side of it what i want is a way to keep the unit on when 4wding so i don't have to go through the motions of opening ozi every time i restart the car

I don't think there is a way apart from reprogramming the unit ti over ride the specs which run ozi. Most units with gps need to be reactivated / turned back each time you start the car.

Check your settings and see if there is an option to select ozi to automatically start up when power is turned on.

I know Igo Primo has that option

Never thought of that will check settings now was just thinking i could run a fused wire from spare batt to switch on dash then when 4wding could just flick that switch on and stereo would stay on

If you read what he has said, it's wired up fine.

You could run a wire from the second battery (or main battery, won't drain the battery anyway) through a switch and then to the red wire on the back of the stereo. Then when you flick the switch it has constant power and won't turn off. Would be great too for when you want to listen to music at camp you don't need accessories on.

That would work, you should also fit a diode in line to prevent back feed from keeping the accessories on when the key is off and the switch is on.

You could also use an on/on switch and connect the radio red wire to the centre common pin and the accessories and battery feed to the other two pins

Didn't read where he said "it's wired up fine" Rabbit
