Switch Live
I have just fitted an Android unit to my wife's 159. However I am having problems with the switch live that is only at 4.5V.
I have the CTSAR002 and with that connected into the circuit the output switch live from that continually cycles between 12V and 4.5V over about 2 seconds so it is trying to work but not correctly. As the switch live voltage swings the Android unit starts to switch on then stops again.
To overcome this I feed the switch live direct from the 12V permanent live and while that worked it flattened the car battery over a week.
So what voltage is your switch live; is it solid at 12V or there abouts or is it at 4.5V and the CTSAR002 is defective.
Next question on CTSAR002 steering control adaptor
The adaptor only has a single wire connecting to the steering controls but my yellow connector on the car has 4 wires. When connected to the Android unit I can only programme 3 steering wheel button positions either 2 on the left button and 1 on the right or vice-versa. Trying to programme any more just over rights the previous programming. Is the CTSAR002 defective or have I bought the wrong unit as I now notice that there is a CTSAR002.2 that specifically states phone control.
There seem to be 3 options for 159 adaptor; the one I have is the first which does not specify phone control. The next two specify phone control and one is Connects2 and the other is Dynamic Sounds own make - which is the best of these two?
