You might need to run an additional 12v acc wire to the fuse block for power. I had to do this when I put an aftermarket deck in mine

If you have power and ground to the radio and it is not coming on, then the radio is defective or there is an internal fuse blown. Is this an aftermarket radio or an OEM out of another vehicle?

* You cannot interchange high speed bus models compatible decks with low speed models. Some vehicles have a high speed computer bus and others have low speed. They will not work properly. Furthermore, the code has to be reset at the dealer.
