On the standard fit radio you can switch it on without having the key in the ignition.

A lot of the cheap aftermarket radios merely use the permanent live to maintain the memory and need the switched live (W) to operate.

Plug on end of OEM wiring lom is split into three sections. Top one, either 20 pin or 10 pin is for display and is not used for your JVC. Middle 8 pin one is for speakers, lower 8 pin one is for power.

Disconnect the speaker (middle) plug and see if unit powers up.

CDX won't have Bose unless it had been added. Do you have speakers in the parcel shelf?

JVC units can also suffer with blown internal earth tracks.

With lower plug connected only, connect a piece of cable to the outer chassis (metal casing) of teh stereo and something metal on the car - a good earth point.

Does the radio still fail after a few seconds
