Hi all I am replacing my freelander 1 facelift stereo but I can’t get any sound, the original one has steering wheel controls anyone got any ideas of what I need to do, thanks
 
If your F1 is a higher spec level it may have an amplifier that needs a trigger wire attaching to the new head unit to turn it on.... it’s likely something simple like that if the head unit itself is new/working ok.

SWC, I have no idea, it is different for all head units, many after market ones are not capable of utilising them in the first place, many need a ‘black box’ between the switches and the head unit to match the two together.....
 
That’s great I will try and track the feed wire back to the amp and connect to the ignition live. Thanks
 
NO, DO NOT connect to permanent live, there should be an output on the stereo, usually a blue wire. You only want it in when there is an audio signal or you’ll burn the amp out.
