    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    It's difficult to help because you're not local - I just want to jump in and unpick this for a few hours to sort it but I'm pretty sh*t at expressing the methodical/logical troubleshooting when it's not in front of me... if you know what I mean? Haha.... My honest opinion at this point... Send...

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    The comment on this suggests if you are running coax (phono) connectivity for front/rear then it has auto-sensing. Meaning it will turn on/off automatically and usually turns itself OFF when there has been 2 - 3 minutes of no activity. Have you checked this out?

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    This blue/white wire needs to be connected to the blue/white wire that comes from the amp (wire number 17 on the below)

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    This is indeed your issue. If you pull the bullet connector out - what happens with the AMP then?

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    Also - I just realised the remote cable comes direct from the HU, not your vehicle's wiring.... This is a typical ISO harness for the Pioneer head units - note how the blue/white cable isn't connected to the other plugs - this is the Remote cable that should be connected to Pin 17...

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    Sorry - to make this clearer; Ignition OFF and test numbers 16 & 17.

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    Interesting - So on the back of the Pioneer HU, you should find a 12V remote cable. This usually only sends the signal when the head unit powers ON. This leads me to thinking the green wire is not the "remote" wire. Also - the amp you have is not the average amplifier that runs the 3 main...

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    Also - is that a connects2 adapter you have in the first pic? If so, pull it out and just work with the basics for the moment, get it sorted without the steering wheel controls for now and once you're happy it's working without, we can get that plumbed in afterwards?

    New amp constantly on (won't turn off)

    I had a Pioneer unit fitted with a JL Audio Amp and Sub and it was perfect. Head unit would turn on when ignition powered on, amp was connected to the remote cable on the ISO harness (provided with the Pioneer HU). I have done a fair few sub/amp installs and it was flawless for ~4 years until I...

    Timing Cover Oil Leak, Startup Noise and Solenoid Seal?

    The whine you get on a cold start.... I have something similar and it usually lasts around ~20 seconds before disappearing. Only happens upon cold-start too... It's not high pitched, just sounds like a whining like a water pump or something? Apologies I can't help with any of the other issues...

    rear abs sensor problem

    Yep, rings are available on their own, you'll need to cut the old ones off and new ones will just pop on. Get everything checked first though, rings on back on discs may be fine and just the brackets need replacing in most cases :) Rings -...

    rear abs sensor problem

    Ahh - no worries. I'm in the south west and would've been happy to help out if you were local but no worries... As per @burrellbloke - get the garage to check the brackets that are located behind the rear discs. 9/10 this is the cause of the fault. If the brackets are rusted/gone, make sure they...

    Blue imo but personal preference ‍♂️ looks spot on mate. Nice job on the holes and placement too!

    Track Car Door Cards

    Not required as the handle itself is bolted dire tly to the door but you do have a gap between the handle and the door card. Somebody mocked these up and began 3d printing them and they are spot on. Not required but certainly make the door cards look more flush and presentable.

    Not a great photo but the only one I have showing one of the rear cards fitted too;

    Track Car Door Cards

    And I also grabbed a pair of these - says out of stock but they're 3D printed by some chap and although they have some imperfections, mostly they're hidden. Seems quite excessive for a piece of plastic but it makes the gap between the door card and handles look so much better and any...

    Track Car Door Cards

    Think I paid like £280 in total for front and rear (carbon effect) with all holes pre cut/drilled (no speaker holes) and it included the door pull straps and full fitting kit for all. Not bad when you consider the time and effort put into the templates and kits and then shipping then securely...
