all the wires are plugged in the right spots and everything appears to be connected right.

does this mean my head unit is messed up?

or the factory 2 amps are messed up?


this is an aftermarket head unit, using the metra 70-8112 harness going through the factory amps.

please help , i jsut want cd capability frown.gif
