September 4, 200917 yr comment_371334 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, 200917 yr by peter08 Report
September 4, 200917 yr comment_371344 Did you hook both power wires up (red and yellow) as it sounds like you just have one. Report
September 4, 200917 yr comment_371348 sounds like you got the yellow and red wires mixed up (my headunit just kept on flashing) Report
September 4, 200917 yr Author comment_371362 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 Report
September 4, 200917 yr comment_371372 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 Report
September 5, 200917 yr comment_371474 wait, is the red wire always accessories. Yes, I thought your brother knew? Report
September 5, 200917 yr Author comment_371570 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 ;) Report
