Has any body had experience with blaupunkt stereos?? I have isolated the
drain on the cars battery, it stops draining when I have the "radio" fuse
pulled. Now I have re-wired the stereo once, and it still drains. blk- to
gnd, red- to ign, and yel- to batt, as the installation instructions
describe, and still it drains??? Now the radio has a strange feature, it can
be turned on with the car off and no key in the ign, this feature has a 1
hour auto-off stated in the manual and no apparent means to disable the
function (using a hammer is tempting). If I flip the wiring ( red to yel,
yel to red)the result is normal function but no radio memory for presets or
clock, while annoying it does solves the problem for me, however the
girlfriend likes presets and a clock soooooo. Anybody have any advice on how
to get my memory and no drain??
