Hey, i wired a new cd player to my acura cl and the wires seem matched up correctly… the cd player turns on but there is no sound… what is the deal?? any idea?
Jason, your 1997 Acura CL may have a factory amplifier that needs to be turned on by your after market radio. The car stereo amplifier trigger wire has to be wired up to turn on your factory amplifier. Unfortunately, we do not have this information but maybe someone from the Modified Life community can post that information here. Hope this helps. Good luck.
