Car Stereos: Car Stereo Installation-No sound, car stereo installation, power antenna


Question
I have a 2002 Sonata.  I've connected all the matching colors, but I'm still not able to hear any audio.  I've got the wiring harness "power antenna" blue wire connected to the "remote output" blue stereo wire.  I feel I'm missing something.  Any suggestions? Thanks

Answer
Hi Vince,

According to my information, some of the 2002 Sonatas are equipped with a factory amplifier.  It's possible that your adapter harness doesn't have a wire lined up with the factory amp's activation wire; the factory wire color should be light green, and it's located in pin 12 of the factory plug (in the middle of the bottom row, next to a blue wire).  If this wire is present in your Sonata's factory radio plug, try connecting it to your deck's remote output.  (If your new head unit has a blue/white wire, use that instead of the solid blue wire).

Sorry about the delay in answering your question!
