    did you check the fuse on the back of the radio?

    also some radio come out of the box set to cd or other input and have to be switch to the tuner to play radio.

    did you buy the adapter plug to convert the wires over to standard colors? if not its very hard to figure out what goes where.

    white with black stripe is ground and blue with red stripe is power.
