Mk3 stereo help
« on: 07 April 2009, 18:09 »
hi im new here, tried a search for this but found nothing, got myself a mk3 16v today which came with a cd stereo from the garage, took this out a moment ago and put in my fusion HU and im getting nothing from it, tried another one of my old HU and nothing there either, anybody got any ideas?

its an ISO connector, came straight out of the old stereo, and into the wiring loom, then into the new stereo

As has been said, does / did the original headunit work?

Probably need a multimeter to check if you have any power around to be honest
