I am installing a pioneer deh-11e in my 1996 BMW 328i. the cd deck turns on but there is no sound coming from my speakers. the lcd screen shows me that it is reading the CD that i have inserted but still no sound. any ideas on where i went wrong?
yes. i cant remember exactly which color corresponds to which but essentially you have to provide power to the BMWs amplifiers otherwise the speakers will not make a sound. i wish i could tell you the wire colors but i cant remember.yes. i cant remember exactly which color corresponds to which but essentially you have to provide power to the BMWs amplifiers otherwise the speakers will not make a sound. i wish i could tell you the wire colors but i cant remember.

Depending on the car and your setup sounds like the amplifier is not wired properly or an issue with adjustments on your deck itself. More info on your sound setup would be helpful.
Un hook all your speakers that the deck is powering and hook them up one by one sounds like u have a shorted speaker or wire and the unit is going into protection.The best way to chk the speakers and wires is with an ohm meter . Check each speaker wire to ground and across the speaker and see iof you have any shorts. The next step woulk be to remove the unit and have it bench tested.
on the radio and the adapter their is a spot for the cord that connects the two the ends have different colors on them it should be purple and black just make sure the colors are matched up if they are off it will still read all the info and say its playing but no sound will come out
This is often caused by a shorted speaker wire. If you have a pinched or loose speaker wire that's touching metal, it will cause the deck's internal amplifier to shut off.
If you have a multimeter available, disconnect the deck then check each speaker wire for continuity with the chassis ground wire. If you don't have a meter, you can disconnect all the speakers, then connect them again one at a time. See if you can tell if there's one speaker that kills the deck's output.
