    So i installed AVIC-z130BT. Everything works as it's supposed to. Did video bypass(soundmancaraudio.com). I checked all fuses(the ones you can see trough) and all are ok. I can hear the starter but engine won't ignite. Any ideas?

    Thats what i was thinking. Did you tune the speakers and everything right after you installed it? Might just have ran the juice out of the battery. Try and jump it

    Well starter is working so battery should be ok, no? Also all dash lights are on that also indicates battery is fine, correct? I had battery disconnected during the install.

    Check the battery connections...my lights still came on and it would crank but wouldn't turn over. It was a bad cell in the battery straight from the dealer.

    Your battery can power those little lights for days. your starter draws way more amps than those lights. Just because your lights are working doesnt mean your battery is good.

    Solved! While i was figuring out which wire to connect the VSS wire to i pulled out the plug and then decided not to connect the VSS but i didn't plug it back in.
    :frusty: :eek:

    Thank you everyone who tried to help.
