Thanks, solved. That's why I'm thinking this is important to connect, although I'm not sure why it wouldn't have a female connector on it. All of the reading I've done said the amp power was the issue. Sure enough when I started following the wires, the amp control isn't connected. Blue has several labels on this unit, also bring the Bluetooth antenna wire.
Most aftermarket installations just use a splice connector on the 12V that runs to the cigarette lighter.
I have a 12v, but I should be able to use the factory connections. They included a harness to interface.
Does your car have an amp? Many don't so your problem might lie elsewhere.
You might be able to get wiring instructions from Crutchfields website. They're great for stuff like this.
Yes I have a factory amp. I'll check crutch field. I also want to connect the manufacturer off the unit since they included the harness.
