peter08 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) i bought a stereo off ebay sony xplode detacthable face, the guy i bought it off had 473 feedback 100% positive. So i don't think he would try and cheat me. Anyway, it's all hooked up and getting power, i can put a cd in and take the cd out but the face doesn't turn on. none of the other buttons work except for the cd eject. no music comes out. is it a dud, fixable, or what? thanks Edited September 4, 2009 by peter08 Quote
Trev Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Did you hook both power wires up (red and yellow) as it sounds like you just have one. Quote
Evan G Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 sounds like you got the yellow and red wires mixed up (my headunit just kept on flashing) Quote
peter08 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Posted September 4, 2009 well my brother did it, who's had alot of experience with sound systems so i don't think he would have got mixed up. but i'll give it a try tomorrow. thanks Quote
rolla rookie =D Posted September 4, 2009 Report Posted September 4, 2009 Sounds like u don't have power coming from your accesories wire (red),as i have had the same troubbles before when installing stereos.Just get a test light and check if u have power coming from ur accesories, if not a good accesories wire it the main power wire coming from the back ov the cigarette lighter.hope this helps :P Quote
peter08 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 wait, is the red wire always accessories. Quote
Trev Posted September 5, 2009 Report Posted September 5, 2009 wait, is the red wire always accessories. Yes, I thought your brother knew? Quote
peter08 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 Yes, I thought your brother knew? nah i got confused he was right. :P anyway the stereo is a dud, it receives the constant power but it doesn't get the accessories power. the power is there the stereo is just screwed. :cool: so i just went out and bought a new one, and it went in no problem ;) Quote
