UPDATE time
Took it to Andrew at Betta Car Electrics, Clontarf. (free plug, good fella).
He had a good look at it, discovered there was nothing wrong with the bloody electricals (dewpite what the stero place said) and wired it into the ACC circuit for me. No problems, didn't cost too much.
I don't know if I have mentioned the other drama - the wonderful ECLIPSE MP3 / CD player didn't work with CD's (not very wee) or MP#'s (at all). Anyway, rather than fix it, ECLIPSE are going to replace it with a brand new unit, noproblems. Should only be a couple of days and I'll be rockin away.... at least I'll have something to cover the OTHER noises up with [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]
