Car audio: 95 Acura Integra has no power with after market CD player?
I bought a used Integra that came with a stock head unit. The unit currently has power and antenna works, but it needs the code to be usable. I removed the unit and installed a new Sony CD player, but it has no power or response when plugged in. I even tried hitting the reset switch and that did nothing.
Wiring harness has been wired to the following colors:
Gray: Gray
Gray-Black: Gray-Black
White: White
White-Black: White-Black
Orange-White: Orange (harness had no Orange-White)
Yellow: Yellow
Red: Red
Blue: Blue
Green: Green
Green-Black: Green-Black
Black: Black (this runs through the harness like the stock unit)
Purple: Purple
Purple-Black: Purple-Black
Do all these need to be connected? Am I missing something?

First I'd recommend making sure that the radio fuse is not blown.
With a voltmeter, check the constant 12V+ wire (from the vehicle wiring harness) blue/white and swithced 12V+ wire, yellow/red. Make sure that they have power and connect to the appropriate wire (by function, not color) on the aftermarket wiring harness and subsequently to the new Sony CD player wiring harness.
If these check out, and you have power on the original vehicle wiring, the new unit is probably defective.
i'm a proud proprietor of a 1994 Prelude Vtech. As with optimal Hondas, tremendously plenty each ingredient of the Prelude is intuitive; your going to thrill interior the outstanding ingredient approximately each characteristic interior the motor vehicle. In my journey, and in others, VWs are a upkeep nightmare, little themes that are extremely no longer think of to break, do harm. The Hondas and Acuras (Acura being owned via making use of Honda) are going to be greater advantageous easily serviceable and have a greater robust perfect acceptance as highway warriors. If I even have been you, i might shrink back the Passat out of the image and are available to a variety between the Prelude and the Integra. of course being an proprietor of a Prelude, i'm very bias and can prefer to declare get the Prelude. that's a perfect motor vehicle in my ideas for my on a typical foundation events, yet you will probably have the potential to prefer to return to a variety what may be perfect on your life. in case you go with for the Prelude, i'm in a position to make certain which you will locate it irresistible.
