I bought a new JVC KD-HDR60 and hooked it up with the Scosche VW01B connector. Everything seems to be working with the receiver with the huge exception that there is no sound. Not even a buzz.

I have read a lot of posts where some of the forum members seem to be able to diagnose just about any stereo problem.

I hope that someone can provide me with the solution to my problem.

Thanks in advance for your help

 

I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like the amp does not have power. Refer to the following thread and pay attention to the wiring tips in the first post. There are a few wires in the harness that do not follow the normal color splicing. I believe one of them (blue?) has to do with the amp. I used this post to install my Alpine and everything worked out fine.

Hope this helps!

UPDATE: Also look at posts #56 through #58 in this thread. These posts did apply to my install.....

I have the Scosche VW01B for a fact, the amp wouldn't power on apparently. But switching the pin over to the correct spot fixed it. The spot where the blue pin originally was is blank on the stock connector, so I moved it over to the spot to make the connection. My car is 2007 if that makes a difference. Very odd!!

 

Yup, you probably forgot to hook up the amp remote signal wire.

 

Thanks for the information. The connector did not have the blue and the blue/white wires connected. After reading your comments, I went back and looked in the package and the blue and the blue/white wires were loose in the bag. I took the blue one and inserted it into the #5A spot on the connector. It had the blade already attached to it so it was simple to get it to click into position.

After putting the radio back into the car for the umpteenth time, everything is working.

Thanks a bunch to Blast Chamber for his help.

 

You're welcome. Glad to hear you got it working!

 

im having this same problem right now, im trying to install a new pioneer unit. ive read about 5 different solutions on here but no one seems to elaborate completely on what goes where. ive read about the pink going to blue white, now blue in #5a, but where does this blue cord splice to? and if the problem is the blue cord, does that mean the pink is out of the equation?

 

well i figured my problem out, after many many trial and errors. using a video bypass was a big part of the problem with all the splicing and joining i had to do for it.

 

I Used To Work In Car Audio Install For Over 15 Years On Both The Retail And Dealership Side Of The Business.i Found A Solution To Your Problem Years Ago In The 1990's.you Can Add Any Din Sized After Market Head-unit To Any Factory Amplified System Using One Of Two Methods Listed Below:

1.connect Rca Cables To The Rca Output At The Back Of Your Alpine.cut The Cable In Half And Use The Covered Wire As Your Positive Input And The Braided Surround Wire As Your Negative Input Into An Factory Adapter Harness That You Should Be Able To Find At Any Car Audio Retailer. I Have Upgraded My 2005 Roadster Keeping The Factory Amp And Speakers With A Sony Head-unit With I-pod Connectivity,hd Radio, Satellite Radio, And Cd Changer Controls.i Also Added Two Amps Component Speakers In The Dash And Kickpanels.i Am Working On A Solution To Add A Speaker Pod Between The Seats For Rear Imaging. Let Me Know If You Have Any More Questions.
I'm Sorry I Forgot To Mention The Other Option Which Is The Best And Allows You More Flexibility. You Can Use Pac Speaker Level Converters Instead Of The Rca Outputs On The Alpine.the Converters Are Adjustable And You Can Set Them To Really Make You System Sound Great.
