Sounds as though you may have it plugged into the wrong cplug. I made this mistake, as the instructions that come with the unit are not for the R56.

If you get no luck from rec, PM me your email address and I can send you them.

Hey jords,

Yeah it powers up with the 'door unlock' though i thought that was wrong. Initially it powered down ok too, but didn't last night for some reason.

It's definately the right plug ( as pictured above ) and the pins as per the OEM instructions......i assume these are the right pins

When it did power down ok, it still says ( in faint writing ) going to 'charge mode'. Does this mean it will drain the battery if left for a while?.

On a seperate note, the unit is fantastic. The bluetooth is great. Only annoying thing is that this unit thinks there's a mobile speed camera EVEYWHERE
