Ok... so I was installing an aftermarket cd player today and it flashed on then turned off and now the factory player (without wiring harness) wont even work. I tested the aftermarket cd player on an independant power source and it works. I tested the ground and thats good. I can only assume the issue lyes with the power. I believe the power source comes through the factory amp but could I have fried the amp? I commute 30 minutes to work everyday... it would suck with out music! Any help would be apperciated!
Thank you AuffyZ |

You should bypass the factory amp when installing an aftermarket head unit.
Factory head units are typically 50w, and the amp just blasts power to the speakers - amplifies the sound. Most aftermarket headunits are 200w, and a factory amp will blow it's fuse/fry itself due to too much power being put through. You've probably either fried the factory amp or blown your cig&rad fuse (fuse panel inside), dome fuse (engine bay) or one of the radio fuses in your engine bay. --------------------  |
