Have been reading back on OP posts.
So a couple of questions.
#1 to OP #2 to everyone
1. Can you use the radio with key out of the ignition, ie press the on button and radio should work ( should work with aftermarket head unit ?)
2. If the OP can find the correct wire and splice like i did then until the Bodge wiring is removed nothing will change or just cause problems in fault finding ?

Re: First two weeks with the Xantia
Warm up? The HDis I’ve had take ages to warm up, a good 5 or 6 miles in the cold weather and that’s with me “leaning on it” a bit on my back roads commute.

Re: First two weeks with the Xantia
Hello Colin and Jim.
How wonderful to see how well you have recovered.
All well here, I look at the forum about twice per week but haven’t contributed much over the recent years because I only know about the Xantia and C5 Mk I.
The 2002 C5 with AL4 is still making beautiful downshifts.
I’ll cobble my time-making machine so as to be able to post more often.
Best wishes.
Terry.

Re: First two weeks with the Xantia
There should be two +12 supplies to the radio
1 - via IGN switch (radio only works with IGN on, usually in Acc position)
2 - permanent +12 live (allows radio to be turned on even when IGN isn't; also keeps radio memory alive)
and
3 - +12 "lights on" (usually from panel lights, maybe sidelight circuit; when live, dims the radio display)
4 - Gnd
plus Antenna and Speaker connections

Re: First two weeks with the Xantia
Unfortunately there are some pics and links missing but This Thread will give you some idea on which wires do what on the ignition switch

Re: First two weeks with the Xantia
Thanks for all the replies. Unfortunately the car is up for sale now nice and cheap as my wife doesn't like it and I don't have the time to get these issues sorted.
