Radio Trouble
Hey guys.
I just got a 07 accord last week,and love it!
In trying to install my bazooka tube subwoofer, I took out my radio and looked for a remote wire in the preinstalled aftermarket head unit. I couldnt find one. So I decided to put in my other head unit from my old car. I cut all the wires and hooked her up, but it wouldn't work! I then reinstalled the original unit with the original wiring harness and still, no luck! I would hear it register the CD, but no display or sound. I assumed it was a faulty remote wire (I also checked the fuses), but I don't understand, because it worked perfectly before! Messing around with it, I got the display to come on when I touched the power wire to the remote wire, but then it won't turn off...
Can anyone explain this? I'm baffled, and there doesn't seem to be an explanation online.
Also, I tested the cigarette light, that doesn't work either.

A common fuse (#32) powers the relay drive for cigarette lighter socket and also feeds the audio unit. Check fuse 32.
If that is not the problem, you need to get a wiring diagram (factory shop manual) and begin the process of tracing each wire you cut (bad move as it makes it difficult to retreat, better to install adapter kit w/ no wire cuts).
If all else fails use the bazooka to nuke it. :D
good luck
