Battery drained after installing isimple

![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I tried installing " iSimple IS32 TranzIt " in my car - Everything went smooth as per detailed guide by "stham" - After connecting the wires I switched on the car and was able to connect to the Bluetooth Received which was connected to ISimple's Aux in - I streamed music from my phone and listened on the car stereo - It worked. However i felt that i needed to increase the gain and for that i switched off the car, locked it and after 5 minutes came back. Now when i switched on the car - the navigation screen went black - all sorts of warnings started appearing in the dashboard - I tried starting the car and it wouldn't - Th engine behaves as if the battery is down. Seems something drained the batteries. I am perplexed as everything worked fine until i switched the car of and than switched it back again. I have uninstalled the Isimple device for the time being and plan getting the battery charged tomorrow morning.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I coudnt get the battery charged yesterday. The car remained in the driveway overnight with the ISIMPLE remove. In the morning i tried starting it and it started - everything including the touchscreen is working - only warning in the instrument panel left in "cruise not available" - it probably means that I messed up the connections? i

Remove both battery cables from your car battery. Hold them so the each cable is connected to the other cable. Give this about 15 seconds to clear gooched warnings/readings. Replace battery cables accordingly. Recharge your battery if voltage at rest is reading below 12.6VDC per a VOM or DVM.
A fully charged vehicle battery should read battery anywhere from 13.0VDC to 13.5VDC depending on size of the battery and age of the battery. In a previous discussion on various batteries for our vehicles I chimed in. Then tested my (7) year old AutoCraft H8 battery; it read 11.1VDC. I have no idea how the starter motor was engaging. Swapped it out the same day for new Advance Auto Platinum. It worked well in our extreme summer heat. Good luck.
