stereo gurus need help!
ok so i just put in a new head unit into my truck with one of those easy connectors that you dont have to cut into you stock wiring, and when i plug everything in i notice a blue light come on for the headunit but the screen wont turn on. tried resetting it, nothing. any ideas wtf could be wrong i already sent back the same head unit for the exact problem. checked the ground thats fine. any ideas whats wrong here?
heres the unit i bought,

im going to be trying tomorrow running a wire straight from the battery to the unit and see if that works. im pretty much lost at this point.

I believe the power wire going to the head unit is always hot, and then there is a wire that tells the radio when the ignition is on. Sorry, I don't know the technical terms, but that may be a start to figuring out what the problem is. I assume the blue light is always on, regardless of the ignition?

I'm guessing the harness you bought isn't giving you a switched power source to indicate to the radio that the truck is on (stock unit gets a signal for this over the CAN-BUS if I remember correctly). Take a look at this thread, specifically Eric's and Monkey's suggestions: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...head-unit.html
