I hooked up my carputer, it turns on but no sound what so ever

I tapped into the BLACK/PINK Amp On wire and connected my BLUE wire to it, but nothing

I have a tester, if i put it next to almost all the wires the light turns red and i can even hear the radio playing from my carputer

I have the A/C with premium bose no navi

Please guys try to help me

Also the stereo wire harness i ordered is not the metro one, in the metro one the amp wire is BLUE/WHITE the one i have is just BLUE, but so is the wire just BLUE coming out from the carputer

Any idea what could be wrong ??

nope, all im doing is taking the bose 6 cd changer out and putting in the carputer

nothing else like adding subs or amps or speakers

kept everything as it is, all i did was take out the factory bose radio and plugged in the carputer, and carputer came pre wired so it color matches with the wiring harness

i cant seem to figure it out

should i tap into the AMP ground wire from the original Bose ?

ok, thanks so muchyea i will def post pics up here

so i got 13 wires coming out the carputerand i got 11 wires from the wiring harness kit

the 11 get hooked up color matched tot he ones coming out the carputer

the extra 2 wires out the carputer are two black, both are ground wires, one i got hooked up to the metal peace thats what makes the PC turn on, the other Black wire i am not sure what to do with, even if i dont have it on a metal peace the pc still turns on because of the other black wire

So i decided to take that Black wire and tap in to the Blue/Black AMP Ground Wire, but nothing happens still

I guess im just going to have to take it to the shop

whats going on ive been doing car audio for like 8 yrs now you need to find the fact amp for the bose i think its in the trunk sorry i dont know cause i didnt have the extra money for bose lol but you will find all the speaker outputs there and all you need to test them are a 9v battery then once you found them label em then run the wires to the carputer and you should be all good if you need more help email me your number and i could walk you through it

Don't tap it to the other ground. Find another spot to ground the other black wire and see what happens. Make sure that all your grounded wires are properly grounded.
