Hi all and a very happy new year to everyone.
This has probably been answered before, but in a couple of hours' internet searching, though I've found plenty of references to it, no-one's given an actual "how to" answer. That is to say, I can't find one.
So, please, how do I get around this wretched 20 minute turn off on our Peugeot radio? Ours is a 2010 van conversion. I'd like it to stay on indefinitely so we can play CDs or listen to the radio.
Also, I'm considering rewiring the radio to run off the leisure battery. Would this overide the timer anyway? Is it a straightforward job? And, does anyone know what size fuse I should put inline? I'm a pretty competent DIYer.
I really don't want to change the radio since I find the quality more than adequate.
Cheers
Geoff

Ok, so I've now learnt how to search the forum properly.
Having used the link above I contacted Trevor, the Trade member and he gave me clear instructions how to do this. But it doesn't work. I've tried jumping from the permanent live to both of the "ignition on" lives (there are two) plus each of them independently.
Can anyone help?
I find it hard to believe there's no one out there with a newer (post 06) Fiat or Peugeot who's solved it.
Help! Please!
Geoff

Geoff...I have a files copied from Practical Motorhome- how to-photos and text- of how to do this in 2009. If you think it might be the same fix then I could e-mail you the files ? They have helped others- including us with our previous vans- but not recently.

Yes I swapped the radio.
The Fiat one is Blaupunkt made and has wonderful simple controls and excellent reception.
But because it has no iPod interface (to control the iPod that is) and no Bluetooth connection I bought a reasonably priced (£100ish) Blaupunkt one that had those things. Slots straight in, no adaptor needed. Much more complex controls, still has excellent reception. Also plays music from a memory stick and MP3 CDs.
That runs for an hour without switching off. But I bought a remote control from ebay for a tenner, so when it does with off I don't have to get up from the settee in the Murvi and take the two steps to the dash board turn it back on

I find this 20 minute switch of confusing. I have had my Blaupunkt fitted in two X250 Ducatos and it switches of after 1 hour. I know it is a function of the radio not the cab electrics. Like I said confusing.
Grizzly - thanks but that refers to the previous Ducato/Boxer, not the current one.
Trev - problem with that is the Peugeot has steering wheel controls and I've not heard of anyone having success with fitting an adaptor (yet). Plus, it's an expensive solution (but may yet be the only one).
Ray - can't answer that one except to say my radio has only the 20 min option.
By the way - it's a Bosch radio.
Still waiting to hear from anyone who's solved it.
Cheers all
Geoff

Alternatively, can anyone tell me if I wire the unit from my leisure battery will that stop this timer effect, since some on here seem to suggest it's a function of the vehicle's CANBUS system?
I'd prefer it to run off the leisure battery anyway, but not sure which is the power input.

AFAIK
The Fiat branded (made by Blaupunkt) OE radio has a 20 minute timer.
Blaupunkt branded retail Blaupunkts have a 60 minute timer.
Waiting, with baited breath, for help.
Radio hanging out of dash in anticipation.
