so I bought a wiring harness from best buy and color coded the install based off the harness. It has power but no sound. I have a brown wire from the stereo side exposed and the two blue wires from the harness, I also have the two thick wires with plugs that look like antenna cables???. Not sure where I went wrong. I might just take it to best buy and make them figure it out. I have spent all weekend working on the 3 amigos and frankly am tired of looking at my damn car!

 

I have done numerous stereo install but not on a rover. ugh ugh ugh

 

I had the same problem, in my case the "cellphone mute" signal was permanently muting the stereo. Try cutting that wire.

 

Do u know what color that wire is

 

No but it's on connector A, pin 2 :

Connectors for car audio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Does anyone know which color wire he is talking about

 

From the Electrical Library. Download it from my Signature. Not that hard to use.

Where a telephone is installed, signals are input to the head unit from the accessory power connector. When the telephone is active, a mute signal is input on a PO wire. The telephone circuit positive is input on an SO wire and the telephone circuit negative is input on a YG wire.

Code Colour
B Black
G Green
K Pink
LG Light green
N Brown
O Orange
P Purple
R Red
S Slate (Grey)
T Transparent
U Blue
W White
Y Yellow

 

Also cut the one on the aftermarket connector not the one on the LR Harness.

 

went to best buy best $15 I ever spent. No more head scratching.

 

So which wire did they cut?
