ok so i got a new headunit today its a jensen vm9312...i have all the wires hooked up correctly but i cant get the unit to turn on...and does the parking brake wire need to be grounded at all? thanks
Did you use a wiring harness or did you hard wire it? is this your first time installing a head unit? go to www.the12volt.com and look up your vehicles make and model and it will give you a wiring diagram for your car.
>everything is wired correctly >I didn't know what to do with the parking brake wire
hmmm this worries me. you didn't just "color match" the Jensen to your factory wiring did you? did you use harness plugs to wire this up? If this unit has a display screen (DVD type) then that parking brake wire will disable the car stereo unless the brake is applied. It's to prevent you from watching a movie and driving at the same time.
its all installed i took to my local car audio shop and had it doe...i have installed many headunits but idk what i was doing wrong lol but its okk saved me time and money they installed for free since i know them
