gringo Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ok here goes....... I'm a complete novice when it comes to stereo installation but I've attempted it on my appradio 2. I purchased the relevant kit from incartec, plugged things in but I'm getting no sound. I must confess to being confused!! I've grounded the head unit and it connects to my ipod (also set it up to run on my android). the screen comes on ok....Bluetooth connects to my phonebook, but playing anything.....no sound at all......no radio playing........ I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing so any advice I'd appreciate. When I look at the loom from that comes from the unit (supplied by incartec) it's almost like I'm missing a plug. Looks like two plugs should go I......but I've only got one. I'll try and take some pics.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Can you explain a little more.......I did see a blue cable, but I haven't connected it.....assumed it was for extra amp or something. What do I connect it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommybandit Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 blue cable, from my memory is your amp signal wire, needs to be connected to the solid blue cable from your aftermarket loom cable.... Also did you buy your appradio2 new or second hand? as the secondhand ones usually dont come with all the cables (as i found out ha) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 The blue cable is on the loom from incartec.....that replaces the one supplied with the stereo. Now I need to find what to wire it too on the system within the car. I still don't understand how there is a double plug supplied, but I'm only using one!

tommybandit Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 this is how i did mine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thanks for that......I'll give it a go and see what happens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Will almost certainly be the blue amp on wire that needs connecting up otherwise the Bose amp will do nothing, hence no sound.... nice easy fix hopefully 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gringo Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Thank you so much guys!!! Just did a quick test and rough connected these wires.....Sound fired straight up!!!! The help is much appreciated!!!!! Just another quick one before I fit everything back together and solder the connection. The four plugs that come with the wiring (red, white, black, off yellow) plugged the red and white in. Yellow also found a home......but the black? Any ideas? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longsh07 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Glad its working, the black and yellow RCA's just go in the other red/white RCA plugs on the back of the head unit. The yellow port on the back of the headunit is for a reverse camera I believe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
