Hey, I just got an Alpine headunit last night. I installed myself, and before I put it in, I just pluged up the wires to see if it worked, and it did. CD Player, radio, etc.. It all worked. I installed the CD Player into my dash, left and went to work on someone else's car. Came back about an hour later, and drove away, noticed my headunit wasn't on, tried everything! nothing is working! help! I already checked the fuse under my dash, it's not blown. Anyone know why this is happening?

Also I have a three extra wires not being used. A Blue/White, Blue, and Orange. I know the Blue I don't need b/c I have an EK and I don't have a power antenna. Should I be using these wires?

 

blue/white is remote amp turn on,the blue is power antena and orange is illumination.you might have toasted the in-line fuse somehow or one of the before mentioned wires is touching ground.pull the radio back out,check the inline fuse-and see if any wires are touching any metal or somewhere they are'nt supposed to.

 

What's an inline fuse? I opened up my headunit, and there's no fuse in there, the fuse that's under my dash is not blown. HELP! I drove 45 mins to work today with music.. BORING!

 

i thought orange/white was illumination

 

Do I need illumination with my Alpine?
