Sounds like the blind leading the blind, take the car to a specialist or
wait for some other to answer your post, you wouldn't like my real reply....

The fire service can be called free by dialling 999 or 112, check the car is
insured for fire damage.

There is nothing wrong with being a newbie at all, but from what you typed
earlier, both you and your friend should not indulge in diy when it comes to
ICE, quit the arguing as anyone coming to view the thread will only join an
argument and your original issue will not get resolved, note i have answered
your originalquery by suggesting you take the vehicle to someone that knows
what they are doing.

it's not that i'm completely clueless, i'm very unlikly to wire an amp up without an inline fuse for
example and i wired the ISO via a pin out map i found just when it came to the sub it throw me off a
bit.

anyway arguments aside is there a way to wire this to the head unit?

How's he supposed to learn then? I wired mine up mainly on guess work. It
seems to me that if you knew what do you, you'd have been helpful and told
him, not just been a prick and started arguing for no reason.
