Hi Guys,
Wondering if anyone can help me out?
I recently bought an Audi A4 03 plate, and removed the Standard HU.
I brought the leads to connect to my HU that i removed from my BMW.
The headunit is an Alpine DVA-9861Ri

This was working 100% in the BMW, but after connecting this to the Audi i'm not even getting power to the unit, I have tested the current ISO connectors with a Voltage meter and can see the V12 battery, and Ground.
But i did not have an ignition power one i think.
on the current ISO i had only 4 wires
1x Brown - Ground?
1x Red/Blue - Battery 12V
1x Green/Blue - ?
1x (i can't remember) ?
I tested all these cables and the volts i got back was
Brown - 0v
Red/Blue - 12.36v
Green/Blue - 10.11v
(i can't remember cable) 2.3v
Am I right in saying that all I need for Power should be a 12V ignition (not constant) and Ground to power the unit? As i'm thinking that I don't have the Ignition 12V?
I even tried moving various cable from the ISO connecter and that did not work either? I did read about a CAM-Mod that someone else purchase to get this Ignition switch working but when I spoke to a local audio shop they advised me that to 05 > models support this NOT the 03?
Anyway I need some guidence on what cables I need to obtain as this has driven me nutts for days.
I believe I don't have a bose system just rear amp'd speakers with Sub. The red connector
Thanks
