Hey guys, I've got a few questions for the ICE gurus.
Firstly, I've got a cheapie ebay double din touch screen jobbie (not a bad for $224 delivered). I've checked the wiring on the supplied harness and the wiring in the car, which is hooked up correctly (12v permanent to the right cable and 12v acc to the right cable) but it drained the battery.
The little backlit lights on the bottom of the unit stay on no matter what. I checked the wiring from our guide here and everything is ok. Could this be that the labels on the H/U harness are back-to-front? I'm not sure if constant drain is a symptom of having them around the wrong way as I've never had a problem before.
Also, upon removing the ridiculous amounts of wiring left over from the old system, I've found a bunch of severed wires and plugs that look like they were once connected to something, but aren't anymore. I was wondering if anyone would know what they are/were. I'm wondering if this car had MMCS originally...
Here's some pics (click thumbnail for larger version):
Looking at the back of the dash from where the A/C unit sits:

You can see the severed wires in the middle.
Then on the floor of the same area:

You can see a wire hanging there with nothing connected to it.
This is it close up:

Labelled "ACC"...but not connected to anything? I thought this might be the source of the current draw, but it would've happened before the H/U install if that was the case.
There's also this:

Which has this tag:

And these, from around the bottom area too:

Any ideas, for both current draw and spare wires?
Cheers all!
