Have you tried swapping the red and yellow wires? Put red to yellow and yellow to red!

Or is it that you want the screen to show an image??

yea done the red to yellow yellow to red bit. its the ignition thats doin it now. remember mechanic saying it for my old 1. but he made it live for me and now i e=want this one live but do myself. i think i have to get the red cable and add another bit on it as i searched last night.

try this,instead of crossing red and yellow wires which means you still have 2 seperate wires,join both parts of the red wire to both parts of the yellow wire,so you have 4 wires connected together.

the best way to do it is to slide the plastic covers from the joining conections on each wire,and push all 4 sections of cable to each other,if it works tape all 4 parts together.

thats what i had to do with mine.

hope this helps.

so i get the two red and two yellow take the bullet connections off and twist them together or tape them for it to be live?

yeah,unclip the red and yellow wires,so then u have 4 ''loose'' wires,and tape all 4 together,u may need to slide the plastic covers down the wires to give urself sum space.

thats what i did with mine and it works perfect.

how do i get the rubber bit of then (bullet connection ) cos i looked at my old setup and tried taking it off and had trouble doin so. will gave this ago and thanks a bunch for replying

on mine the bullet connecters were covered with see through rubber to protect the connections from shorting out,i just slide this off the bullet connecters and then unclipped the bullet connecters,taped all the 4 ''loose'' wires together,then cut of the rubber covers as they were no longer needed and were just getting in the way of fitting lol.

is this what u mean?

yea i got them clear things too. so the bullet bit is the metal then

yeah,its the metal connecter underneath,u dont even need to unplug it,just remove the rubbers covers of the red and yellow wires,push buth the red and yellow wires together so that the metal connecters are touching and just put enough tape on it to keep them held together,then try and turn ur radio/dvd on.if it comes on make the tape more secure and safe around the wires.job done in 2 mins.
