Don't connect the piggyback fuse to the one shown in this video. The radio remains on for a period after the ignition is turned off, the length of which depends if the car has been running. Instead use Fuse 22, which is the DRLs. Middle row, 5th fuse in from the left (10A). This will ensure radio goes off immediately with ignition 👍 Other than that, great tutorial 😊

It's also noteworthy that when you disconnect the 2 button blocks and then turn on the ignition the airbag warning turns on in the dashboard. This can only be reset by the dealer or garage. So before you test the new radio, connect the 2 button blocks. I tested the new radio before I built it all back so when everything was built back I had the airbag led on. Took me a while to find out why.

Thanks for the video mate, super helpful. I’ve got a couple questions if you‘re able to help - you recommended to wire up the new stereo via fuse box. Why is it alright for the stock stereo to bypass this but not an aftermarket one? Is it because the stock one auto powers off and this won’t make battery flat? If I bought a stereo that would auto power off could I just stick with the default wiring? Secondly, if I secure the new stereo in to my Up by securing the cage clips and then clicking the stereo fully into the slot, how would I actually remove it if I ever come to sell the car? Cheers!

Thanks very much, that was really helpful! I watched the whole video and did my radio upgrade step by step. But I actually connected the 12v ignition cable to the 12v permanent connection, because I didn't like that the radio shut down itsself when ignition is off, for example when waiting at the railroad crossing or hearing music while standing around. Now I need to switch it off and on by hand but I don't mind. The original radio is controlled via can bus for the comfort functions: switches on with ignition, it remains on until you pull out the key, then it shuts off itsself. But then you can still switch it on manually. There's an adapter on ebay which unfortunately costs 50€ which wasn't worth vor me right now for this functionality.
