I recently just purchased a brand new panasonic cq-c8303u to replace the old radio in my 92 geo metro hatchback. After i had removed the old stereo i found the stereo wiring in the car had been cut and was just a jumble of loose cords. I was able to obtain a wiring diagram for my car and i hooked up my panasonic HU to the car. Unfortunatly it didnt work. I checked the stereo fuse in the car and it was fine. Does anyone know why the HU does not turn on? Your help is much appreciated. Oh, i know the HU does work because if i hook it directly up to the cars battery it turns on
There is for sure a hook up problem my friend. There should be a memory wire that always has power to it even when the car or the ignition is off. Then there is a switched type wire that only comes on when the cars ignition is on. Check both of these wires in the car. Check the car wiring diagram to confirm this. To confirm the wiring in this vehicle, I Good Luck with this install. And if all else fails, don't take a chance and blow out the unit, take it to a pro to be installed. Good Luck found the right wiring diagram for your car. Confirm this wiring diagram with this one you have. Go here:http://www.the12volt.com/installbay/stereodetail/955.html

I've connected all the wires at least once. Still nothing.
