No radio signal ?
« on: 10 November 2013, 17:18:01 »
Fitted a new cd/radio today . Everything works accept cant get any signal to the radio  :( There is a red wire coming off the Arial wire and dont have a clue what this is for . Worse case scenario would be to fit a new arial lead and arial but dont really want to be doing that .
Any idea . Car is 1998 p/f 3.0 MV6 .

TIA

Tried it connected to switch live,was nothing  :o
The wire was part of the aerial lead and a new connector for aerial was also fitted to the original wire already

Is the replacement HU a GM one? If not, is the pinout the same (unlikely)?
