if you can gain access to the top of the radio, you can try cleaning the laser lens very gently with a qtip and rubbing alcohol.

the red wire needs to be connected directly to the battery postive/red lead. you may have to run a wire from the battery, through a hole drilled in the firewall, into the red lead on the back of the stereo. it is suggested that you use a fuse, but is not necessary, as close to the battery as possible.

your aerial might not be plugged in

If you have connected the new cable correctly , and you have the system turned OFF... plug the MP3 player in and then turn the system ON ... it should recognise the new equiptment... and allow you to play the MP3 player.

are you using an amplifier? it sounds like you are using the blue wire (antenna remote) instead of the blue/white stripe wire (amp remote) to turn it on.
