[T-Type85David]

got a BOSS BV7950 for 140 new, just said to hell with it don't give me any bs guys haha, but i got the walmart harness n ABS trim thing, hooked it up and nothing. i think my problem is simple but need your yrs of exp to help me out a bit. I hooked power,ground just to see if that was the problem nothing, hooked up an old radio, it worked so fuse isn't blow, this radio is rated at 320watt is or would that be a problem?? Other then that i can post pics of the what has been done.

That walmart kit was weird, it had the stock orange and black hooking up to a single yellow wire. Any help would be nice, guess im not seeing the problem here need outside opinons or advice.

Here is a good site:

The Install Doctor - The Do-It-Yourself Car Stereo Installation Resource

Make sure it's hooked up correctly. Never turn it on with out speakers hooked up, depending on the radio, you can damage the amp.

You will have a Positive wire, Ignition wire, and a ground that has to be hooked up for it to work. And of course the speakers Make sure you get the wiring right.

yeah it came on, there was this damn thing that didn't let it work on there, someone tapped into the power and worked with old radio but guess not this one. I haven't found the constant to kept the memory whick wire is that again?? i tested the red,yellow but nothing then i checked my tester, brand new, check fuse, nothing. no power. I got power now i but can't seem to find a constant.

look for a orange wire in the oem harness,if dome lights work this wire is good. the orange wire should also have a brown wire in the same two pin plug.

oem harness;

yellow (black plug) = ign + should be on the red wire on aftermarket stereo.
orange ( two pin black plug) = battery + yellow on new stereo
black (black plug) = ground black on new stereo
