I installed my new radio last night and powered it up and got no sound. So I disconnected everything and started over, same results. I've checked all over the Audio, Video thread info and haven't been able to figure out a solution. I have a Pioneer 880 deck, Scosche VW01B harness and Metra 40-EU10. One thing that I've noticed is that I came up one wire short.

There was no wire for me to connect the ACC wire from the Pioneer deck, so I coupled it with Battery wire from my deck (without this, the deck would not power up). Now both the ACC and Battery wire from my deck are connected to the Ignition wire from the Scosche.

Any ideas? Any kind of help is appreciated.

 

Do you have a pink wire coming from your schose harness? That should connect to the blue amp turn on wire.. most of us that installed aftermarket radios had the same problem.

 

Thanks for the info. I'll give it a shot when I get off.

 

Got everything taken care of.

 

Was that the problem?

If not, please tell us what was!

For future reference in case anyone else runs into the same error - they can have a solution instead of "it was taken care of"

(No disrespect!)

 

having the same problem! all hooked up but no sound whatsoever. have a pink wire on my schose harness, but the only blue wire i have on my pioneer DEH-P3900MP harness is for the remote...please help me before i pull my head off!

 

would atempt to connect the pink wire from the schose to the blue wire on my pioneer's harness but the blue wire on the pioneer has a piece attached to it that looks like its important in order for the remote to work. am i wrong?

 

when i called crutchfield they told me id have to bypass the amp by going into the passenger side floor board...ive read on other posts that they were told the same thing by crutchfield but it was unecessary. i hope so!

 

You can cut off the "important" piece. Just connect the two wires and you'll be set with sound. No need to bypass anything.

 

even though the blue wire is labeled as the "remote" wire? connecting it to the pink wire wont affect my ability to use the stereo remote control?

 

DID IT! sorry, first time hooking up a system and thought the blue/white wire labeled "remote" actually had something to do with the remote control that operates the system. now i know its for the remote amp! thanks for your help guys!

pink wire + blue/white wire = SOUND!

 

there are two pink wires on the scosche vw10b so which one of the two goes to the blue/white remote wire?

 

Hi,do you have a pink wire coming from your schose harness? That should connect to the blue amp turn on wire..
