Installing on Ford Mondeo mk4 with power start button

Postby bekero » Thu Jul 26, 2018 5:46 pm

Hi,
I recently bought a pumpkin navigation from AliExpress ( my order number is 92767940348420 )
I installed on my Ford Mondeo Mk4 with push start button. Everything works correctly less navigation starting.
Navigation only starts when I press the Start button of the car and stops immediately when the engine stops.

I'm using the canbus power cable. I want the unit to work after interrupting the contact (as is normal). Can someone help me?

Thanks,



Jammy

Hi,
what do you mean by interrupting the contact ? turn the engine off ?
When you turn the engine off, is the unit power down ?
If you don't mind ,could you mind showing me an video about this issue ?

I think I know the problem he is talking about.
The problem is, that your "Start/Stop-Button" switches clamp 15 (Ignition power). In this case the CAN box interprets this as "Key in position 1" and shuts down the head unit. This is as normal behavior and nearly each car with Start/Stop button works like that.

What you could do is, to find an electricity consumer in your car which switches off if you open the driver door, but is active during the complete driving cycle. You need to get the plus from this consumer to the orange cable of your unit and do not use the power connector of the CAN box.

Second possibility would be to press the Start button without using the brake. This would activate clamp 15 again and the radio is back on directly.
