I need help with a problem im having installing a sony cd player in a pickup.?
I got a Sony Xplode cd player to put in my pickup. I put it in and the radio worked but the cd player didnt. It showed that the disc was playing but there was no sound through the speakers. I got a different player and it did the same thing, so what is wrong?

Your truck has a factory amplifier. (I’m guessing it’s a Dodge). Right now the wire that activates the factory amp is connected to a blue wire coming from your deck. That’s a power antenna wire, and it’s only active when the tuner is on. You need to switch whatever’s connected to the Sony’s blue wire over to the blue/white wire instead (if your deck has one).
A couple new Sony models don’t have a blue/white wire. In that case (only), then you’ll need to disconnect whatever’s attached to the blue wire and connect it to the red wire instead. (Don’t disconnect the wire that’s already attached to the red wire; keep both connected). Again, this is only if your deck doesn’t have a blue/white.
