Car stereo im trying to install a cd player in my 81 camaro and assoon as i plug it in it says goodbye....but if i push the disply button it will light up for a sec but then turn back off

Sounds like its stuck in demo mode. Look up model number on the internet if you don't have a manual. Hope this helps

May be an amp trigger wire, Light green, not getting signal back from new stereo. Check against old plug.

Well, if you push the cd button and no cd player is installed, then you can try a salvage yard to find one and have an auto electric shop install it for you.

Otherwise, you can go to a place like Best Buy, and have them install a cd changer, like a Sony, for instance, that plays through a certain FM stereo frequency on your radio and they might be able to make it so that it powers up when you hit the cd button, although

many times they'll just have it power up on your ignition key being on, and you have to remember what frequency or preset on your radio to have to hear the cd-player play.

That's tech for you.

If this is a stock radio you pull it out and run it over. those cd players have more issues than Iraq. No there is no reset button on the there. If you are having problems with your stereo you would spend less money if just get a new one. stereo shops have stereos that would work better for you I'm sure. you can get one for $50 -$100 and only pay 40 or 50 for install. take care.

tried cd cleaner a couple of times. seems to work ok. was told by an installer that this does occur when the stereo is wearing out.

i think its factory fitted ?? so you might not have the wiring loom pre installed

the radio is in the trunk, not under the dash

is it fitted correctly does it have a good earth check fuse on back of stereo check fuse under dash and also under hood if it has one there try holding the reset button for 15 secs

My first suggestion is to not purchase "used" electronics from eBay. I bought the same kind of unit from eBay... and mine is broken too. I got a cell phone, car stereo, and a remote.. they were all not working properly when I received them.

Did you try the restart button. It is a small, pin size button on the right-side of the unit near the 4-way select buttons. My player wouldn't eject a cd either, and when I pushed the restart button with a pin, the cd ejected and the unit was ok for playing cds... that's about it

are you experienced in installing car stereos at all? these decks are not the easiest to install. Best bet would be to try to find an installation manual....there would be way too much instruction to put on here.
If you have any specific questions feel free to ask.
