I am trying to install a JVC KD-S34. I have tested all the power lines, and they all have power when they are supposed to. Light line comes on with the lights, switched line comes on with the key, and continuous power is always on, yet the unit does not seem to get any power. Nothing happens when I plug it in. Have tried reset button, and nothing. Any ideas? Thanks, Brian

Hi Kellie,
Here is a link to a similar Car stereo.

Problem with KD-R200 or KD-AVX33?
What does it mean by "it lights up blue then nothing?" Does it takes CD in?

Your best bet is to go to a location that sells install kits and purchase one. Otherwise you have to figure out what lines match up to what lines on your own. One bad connection and you can fry your reciever.

If there are no audio inputs on your JVC, your quest is impossible. Need a head unit with that facility. check out here Crutchfield Car Stereo Speakers Home Theater Pro Audio 4k TV

JVC has the manuals on their support site: http://books.jvc.com/booklist.asp?Model=KD-S34 . The direct link to the installation guide is: http://books.jvc.com/Download/138327414/GET0518-002A.pdf . The operating instructions are here: http://books.jvc.com/Download/138327414/GET0518-001A.pdf . If you want to buy a printed copy, see http://store.jvc.com/product.asp?Model=KD-S34 . Note you will need a program like Adobe Reader to read the files.

I hope this helps.

Wife bought me a new JVC KD-S16 in dash cd player/radio. Is this a good unit?

sounds like only the constant(yellow) wire has power. you need to make sure that the switched wire(red) has power as well. good way to trouble shoot, is to hook the red to the yellow to see if it powers up then, if so you know the radio is ok, you just need to find a better power source for the red wire. hope this helps.

hook it to the same power as the JVC make sure a in line fuse is installed

an aux cord that adapts to your i pod.. check radio shack...

and the speakers are hooked up right ?
then it should be working..

did you check the fuses ?
did you check if it comes on with the car started?
are the wires the correct amp ?
try connecting both wires directly to the battery ?

if all that is correct then by all means you got everything hooked up corectly and it should work, return it to the store and have them check if its working correctly
