Well I was just trying to wire up my new deck+beat for my bimmer and well stupid deck doesn't turn on! [Mad] I've wired up my deck on my '86 from scratch(all stereo wires were cutout for some reason) and installed decks in a few of my cars. But this one man does it have me frustrated I have disconnected and reconnected every wire carefully and well it still gets no power! Is it possible that the defective? Or wire harness adapter not in the right place? Fuck man who knows if I'm doing something wrong right now kuz of this damn anger I have going on. Any suggestions?

I prefer to do all work on my cars myself but I think I'm gonna hold back my pride on this one and take it to get installed. [Mad]

probably has an amp built in, did you use a harness for the install? If so you usually have to power the blue wire in the harness with the blue white coming off the deck.

Did you test the deck on your battery to see if its even good? Just takes a second and it will satisfy your ego and curiosity.

I hope they charge you a lot since its a BMW. It will be the beginning of a lot more you will be spending on that horribly built engine.

I agree that on a car like this is better to pay to get it installed its going to cost anywhere from 40 to 100 but worth it. I had a 2000 328i and payed $60 at frys to get it installed.

Yeah that's where I bought the deck at. Did you go to the audio section N ask about getting it installed?
