I have a 1995 Omega Elite. It had no radio when I got it but did have a
Philips changer in the boot.
I bought a JVC MP3 radio CD and got the appropriate adaptor from Halfords.
The original plug has two familiar iso connectors plus a longer third plug
which I am told sends info to the the computer display and also operates the
changer.
Plugged in switched on but sound is just audable at top volume although
ballance and fade controls work fine.
I have metered the speaker cables and get 0 ohms readings all round.
I have cut the adaptor cables and put in bullets so I can play around . At
one point I had all speakers working Ok but by connecting just one wire of
each of the 4 pairs !!
This was fine until I switched off and on again and then I was back to the
low volume again. If I connected the speakers once the unit was switched on
I got proper volume.
I cant even get that to happen now although the radio is working on four
speakers wired directly to the socket.
Help please before I go mad.
