Default Was it your stock head unit? Or bought elsewhere?

I know my stock wouldn't work now because I had to move wires within the metra and stock harnesses to make the aftermarket work and ditch the K-wire also. I'd have to switch everything back in order to put stock back in.
If you don't come on in at least safe mode, you're having a power problem.
I realized after I took out my OEM and finished putting in my aftermarket (no ****, everything was all done) that I'd left 6 CD's in the stock head unit. So I hooked the stocker direct up to 12V and ground (no other hookups). It came on in safe mode, but it was able to eject the CD's at least. Lucky...

If you know which pins are which, hook direct 12V.. see if safe mode comes up.
