there are 2 power wires that need to be connected, 1 to switched 12V and one to constant 12V. You may need to enter the security code the first time you power it up.

Re: radio wont turn on

check each of the wiresw to make sure they have the correct voltage, also where is the ground wire connected ? If you say the black wire on the harness, change it to a metal bolt behind the dash. If this is not a power/ground issue then it must be a defective unit.
