Greetings,

What year is your vehicle so I can pull up a radio schematic. It is likely you have connected something wrong.

  1. Did you purchase a harness connector or did you simply try to splice the new unit in?
  2. Is the remote wire usually a blue wire with a white stripe connected to the proper wire on the factory harness side to send a signal to the factory amp to turn on when the radio is powered on. The blue wire on the aftermarket harness is connected to the orange w/ blue stripe on the factory harness in some of these years.
  3. without a car year, I am pretty limited to what help I can give you.

Cheers!!

Monte
