Installing Double DIN clarion, works but no audio

The only thing that i can think of, is i did not transfer the wire of the climate control into the new kit i bought, because i forgot to, but regardless, i checked the Double DIN for any mute all keys or whatever on the interface and nothing. So my question is, is there anything that plug for the Climate control have to do with the audio not playing? like is there an audio wire in that lil plug that i have to hook up? Would that be the reason for me not hearing my audio? since i for sure checked my connections and such. And it is a brand new Clarion.

have you tried using a CD? Does the audio not work on FM only?

do you have amps installed?

do you have factory bose?

ONCE I made an idiot mistake....my eclipse had a separate cable for RCA plugs. i forgot to plug that harness into the radio.hahha.

climate control does not effect an aftermarket radio

Are you sure you don't have a factory Bose amp? Did you try hooking up the remote wire (usually blue/white) from the head unit to the blue/white wire on the harness adapter?

Did you have Bose?
Did you install yourself?
Did you use the Metra 70-7551 or 70-7550 (or their equivalent) or PAC ROEM-NIS2?

I just finished my install and noticed I experienced the same problem as you. Once I plugged in the remote wire, I got sound.

I tucked my wires down the sides where I could. Made a lot of room.

And if you didn't have Bose, remote wire doesn't connect to anything.

You didn't answer if you had the Metra 70-7551 or Metra 70-7550.

Here's what I think happened -
You installed a 70-7551 harness on a non-Bose vehicle. Easy way to tell? Did you connect any RCA connectors to the new head unit? If so, go buy the 70-7550 harness and connect it up instead. The RCA outputs are unamplified and won't power any speakers.

If you didn't connect any RCA plugs to the new headunit, then you probably didn't clip the speaker wiring harness in soundly and it got disconnected when you put the headunit in.

Well, i dont have BOSE so im pretty sure theres no factory amp cuz i didnt see any factory rca's there. And so i didnt use them, and i made sure the plug was good for the speakers since i just let the headunit sit freely while i plugged it all in etc..so idk

If it's the one on the top, you need the one on the bottom.

If you have the one on the bottom, you've got a bad headunit or your speakers are wired wrong.
