Default Cd player cuts power to mirrors

Just to help me mate,

Other day he installed a cd player into his series 1 au, smartlock,

When he goes to play the cd player it cuts the power to the mirrors,

Hes has gone over every possible reason and still cant work out whats going wrong.

Can any one shed any light on this

Cheers matt

i just went to supercheap, bought an AU addaptor then cut the wires to the addaptor and soldered them to the plug that came with my head unit.

Point is i never changed anything on the car, so if i destryed something it can be easily replaced
