trying to find someway of powering my stereo and dvd, but I dont want it on a permanent live, but also dont want to have 2 turn the ignition all the way on,

but I cannot seem to find anything that is inbetween off and on,

i assume there is no setting in the corsa?

i dont want it on a permanent live,

I want to be able to turn the ignition on one click, and the radio will come on, then another click for the ignition to be on,

like the fords do

sounds like youve not swapped the red and yellow wires if your getting your sterio to turn on without the key put to the first click?

no, my stereo and everything is working perfectly,

it stores all of my stations and EQ info,

but you have to turn the ignition all the way on for anything to come on, which gives power to the coilpack, fuel pump, etc etc,

what I want is to turn the ignition to an accessory setting and the radio comes on, much like fords do.

Right then that means that the ignition live off your headunit is being supplied from an incorrect feed, the IG2 feed.

Either that or the contact for the IG1 feed is damaged inside the ignition barrel so when it turns again the IG2 feed powers everything else. (Does happen)

New contact end for a corsa is about 12 quid, Id give it a shot.

There is an accessory connection on the key switch, but it is not wired up as the factory radio didn't use it.
I added the wire to mine to power my Pioneer sound system. Works like a charm... I was getting very irritated with having to manually switch the radio off and on every time I got in/out of the car.....
Heard about a few people who accidentally left the radio on and had a flat battery the next morning.....

deffinatly dont have the IG1 on my corsa, is it something that newer models had? as the connector on the loom looks as tho there is a extra socket that isnt being used but the contact on the ignition doesnt have a pin?

on mine, you can turn off the ignition and the cd player stays on, until u remove the key. still have to turn the ignition fully on, but then just turn it straight back off again after

go down scrappy then, and look for an L reg corsa (Cos it seems to be common in these) and have a look at the back of the ignition. . .

thats strange cuz mine is an L reg SRi, also my gf's corsa is exactly the same no accessory on the stereo, but when we had the standard stereo if they key was out you could turn the HU back on by pressing the button in
