To me it sounds like either you fitted the new double DIN stuff, or you got someone to do it.

Having just fitted an new stereo myself, I am now getting the single pip on the horn when locking the car.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hello,
Having just fitted an new stereo myself, I am now getting the single pip on the horn when locking the car. I gather from this previous thread that it's probably because the car thinks the stereo is missing:

Can anyone suggest how to resolve the problem - I'd like the car to be as happy with the new bit of kit as I am!
Thanks,
Ben
Thanks - can you let me know how you get on.
The only wire/cable that was connected to the old stereo but is not connected to the new one is the green/blue lead for the CD multi-changer (which I didn't actually have fitted) and I can't re-connect it as I have and ipod adapter plugged into the CD changer socket.
Is is a case of sticking some tape over the end of the redundant cable?
Thanks,
Ben
It has nothing to do with lose cables. There is a pin on the old stereo that pushes down on a microswitch. Your new stereo doesn't have the pin hence the alarm going off. I believe (not having done it myself) people just tape up the micro switch so it thinks its being pushed down..... have a look around and it should become apparent. Failing that look at the old stereo and find the protrusion that would have pushed the micro switch and backtrack from there.... Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Ahhhh, that would explain why I couldn't find anything.
I was looking for connector / cable and not a micro-switch.
Left or right side please fellas?

Damian,
Is there any chance that I might not be able to find what is being referred to because I had a single DIN stereo and I had it coverted to double DIN to take a Pioneer touch screen unit?
The anti-theft switch isn't a microswitch but a direct electrical connection to the side of the unit - i.e. it earths itself. A small square of electrical tape insulates this as mentioned.
What you're saying here is logically incorrect. If it earths itself as you state whilst connected to the side of the unit when factory installed and now it's fair to then say that this connector is now not connected (ie not earthed) then how can insulating it with electrical tape now fix the issue? Surely then the solution would be to re-earth it?
To me it sounds like either you fitted the new double DIN stuff, or you got someone to do it. If you did it, what did you do to the microswitch? If someone else did it, return and ask for help?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
