Hi, i have just brought a 2002 galaxy, with leather etc etc, it has the version vhs system installed with the media volume control between the two front seats ( no DVD player there) its has a kenwood normal cd player fitted at the front in the dash.

 

Should the screens in the headrest still work ??? also it has a vhs player in the rear compartment above the wheelarch, but no power, i have checked all teh fuses they are fine.

thanks in advance.

The multimedia unit (bit between the seats) needs to see an 'on' signal from the headunit. In real terms this is just a 12V feed to tell the media unit that the ignition is on and that it's ok to be on (and not flatten the battery). If the headunits been fiddled with then thats the first place to look, chances are the wiring has a ford to ISO adaptor on it for the kenwood unit. Most headunit's have a 12v out called "antenna out" - a fallback for other makes where some have electric antennas that go up when the radio turns on, in more modern headsunits its sometimes referred to as "Amp on" - See if the kenwood unit has this output and then see if there is an unused wire at the first part of the adaptor. From memory its a blue wire on the end of the power connector - check first, but I suspect you'll need to put the antenna out wire or a 12V ignition feed to that wire in order to put the system back on.
