XTL5000 O3 Ignition Sense
Posted: Wed Oct 29, 2014 4:11 am
i just installed an XTL5000 with O3 head in my vehicle and the ignition doesn't seem to be working correctly. What I want is for the radio to turn on automatically when I start the vehicle and turn off when I stop the vehicle. I have my O5 radios set to soft power off which works great, but from reading the help file, it appears that the O3 behaves differently and the only way to accomplish this is program the radio for ignition-only power up.
The radio is currently programmed for ignition only power-up and ignition power is currently being supplied to the 26 pin accessory jack on the rear of the radio. The radio still does not come on without hitting the power button. The radio does properly turn off when I shut off the vehicle.
Am I missing something here? My next step is going to be a firmware update, but I'm at version 16.00.00 which is recent enough that I doubt it's an issue.
