Title: heated seat buttons control stereo illumination?
Post by: keith2.2 on 26 March 2008, 18:41:26

Good old VX electricals  ;D

noticed today that with my headlights on, the screen an seat heater buttons turn the illumination on the stereo on and off  ::)

not sure theres much I can do about  it, just thought I'd post it up as an anecdote lol.

May be worth checking with a meter to make sure its just the illumination circuit thats coming on and not overloading a circuit somewhere?

This thread is hilarious!

Mr. Serious comes out with the meter theory (which I don't want to undermine)


Then you just whang it about and hey presto!
