Ok when I bought the car (94 Honda Accord ex) the factory radio had an anti-theft system on it and before I had received it, it apparently had been disconnected from the battery somehow. Now it needs a code which the dealership wanted me to pay for. Well I had a Pioneer DEH-12 cd player already and decided to install it. We bought the correct wire harness for my car and connected all the wires correctly. The cd player plays the cd, tunes in the stations, everything works on it but no sound comes out the speakers. The most we got was a little popping. So what am I doing wrong? Whats the next step to identify the problem?
-   Hi guys sorry to hear about your problems. Unfortunately I have the same deal. Bought a great piece of kit from ebay, it LOOKS fine, it even opens up (the display) and looks like everything's working, the antenna on my 94 civic goes up like it did with the factory one, but i get NO SOUND whatsoever!!!! I know the unit i bought totally works becuase I tested it in my other car but as I bought the Honda as a project car, wanted to have it in this but no luck. ANY HELP WOULD BE HUGELY APPRECIATED!-   neoverine

-   The after market deck wires directly to factory speaker wires but no sound is produced, if it has a factory amplifier it has speaker wire inputs not RCA's, all I need is the the remote wire to turn on the factory amplifier, i don't know which wire (color) it is?

I have a 93 accord ex with the bose amp system. Had a Sony deck put in it. It had the popping and the noises. It was installed at a store and they had to hook the red power wire to the antenna wire to get the sound to come out of the system when playing a CD. I thought that was bogus to have the antenna up all the time so I took it back out and put another quick hookup harness in it and it did the same thing. Will not put out any sound till the red power wire is hooked up to the antenna wire so that it goes up when the key is turned on. Installed the same stereo in a 94 taurus SHO with amp and it worked great. I believe that there is an expensive kit that converts the bose system to hook up a unit so that it doesn't pop click buzz, and have to have the antenna up to play.

IF THE FACTORY RADIO WAS CONECTED TO AN AMPLIFIER YOU NEED TO BY PASS IT OR USE THE RCA CONECTORS ON THE RADIO

My unit Sony CDX-M800 unit (discontinued) is nearly eight years old so I am not surprised it is starting to go on me (as they are made to only last a handful of years), but here is the issue: the motorized screen's buttons and display do not work at all. The screen still moves down with the use of the main button on the face and the 'open' button on the remote, but once its open you must use the remote button to put it back. It would be nice to have use of the inside controls. Any easy fix idea to get the inside face working again?
