On Saturday I installed an Alpine cda 9831 head unit into my 02 cooper. The head unit itself is excellent and I would definitely recommend it to anyone. However, since installing it my car has developed some strange electrical problems.
Firstly, the interior lights - ceiling and foot well, have started to turn on and off randomly. This occurs whilst driving and when the car is parked with the ignition off. Sometimes they stay on for a long time, other times they flicker rapidly.
Second problem. The passenger window has started to open and close by itself. It doesn't open fully. It just moves up and down as if the door is being opened. The window is now stuck in the lower position, using the electric window makes no difference. When the window is shut, it stops in this lower position.
Has anyone else experienced these types of problems after fitting a head unit?
I have searched the forums and have discovered these problems occur individually. Does anyone think that it may just be a coincidence and not have anything to do with the fitting of the head unit?
Thanks
