Problem with Head Unit install, No display but all sound?
Just recently installed a Kenwood Excelon CD player in my 06 IX. I got everything from crutchfield including the adapter harness. I power up the cd player and it has no display, yet I can search fm, am etc, and hear the music. I am noticing the little buttons on the bottom faintly flickering, and only the rings around the two round knobs are lit up. I am starting to think I should have left the dimmer wire, and possibly the power antenna wire (my car doesnt have one) disconnected? Could that be causing the problem? I noticed that on the harness adapter where there would be the power antenna wire, it connects to that yellow wire that goes along the antenna plug. Could someone help me out here? Do I have a bad stereo or did I connect one too many wires?

I would start by disconnecting the dimmer wire. If that doesn't help, you probably have a bad unit. Did you try taking off the face and putting it back on to see if it just wasn't on quite right?
Do you have SSL? Can you elaborate what you mean with the yellow wire along the antenna plug? The only yellow wire that I'm aware of is your power wire.

Yeah the little button is reset. I'm not sure what that yellow wire is for. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in my car (hence the ssl question), but my car came with an aftermarket cd player. Ill dig around my dash and see if I can find it and figure out what its for.
