Someone installed an aftermarket single DIN deck into my stupid 95 325is. Seems to be a correct install, proper adapter harness, everything seems to be connected. Deck has power, cycles through modes, but no sound whatsoever. All four radio fuses are good. Anybody know whats wrong?
A shorted speaker or speaker wire will put the deck into protect mode, aka no output.
The head unit’s internal amplifier could also be dead.
factory amp and improper harness maybe?
Google bmw e36 stereo install blue wire. Your power antenna dealie prob isnt hooked up right.
Most modern head units will have both a remote turn-on AND power antenna, you want remote/amp turn-on to be wired to the factory amp (if still installed). I generally bypass the factory amps as they are weaker than most head units.
JClark for the win. Thanks everyone. Time to get some Kraftwerk CDs
