Happy Ending to..."Working" OEM Head Unit replaces Pioneer AVIC-X910BT - Now no sound
Everything on the radio seems to work. Antenna goes up and down with radio power as it should. Casette section seems to work fine. Just one problem. Not a peep, rattle, or hint of hiss from the speakers at any volume. And no music either. All speakers are dead silent.Speakers were working ok with the Pioneer head unit. Pretty sure it was set up to send pre-amp output to the speakers as there was only a harness adapter and antenna connection between the car and the unit. No heavier gauge speaker wires. So I would guess (and its only a guess) that the Bose speaker amps have not been bypassed. So, anything I can do? Check? Open? Close? Switch? Test? I bought the radio from another primer who said it was working fine when he had it, and I have no reason to doubt him. I can't check the connections that were made to the Pioneer because it has gone to a new owner. I paid $400 for this radio and while it looks great and lights up as it should, music would be nice.
