Just recently installed a Kenwood Excelon CD player in my 06 IX. I got everything from crutchfield including the adapter harness. I power up the cd player and it has no display, yet I can search fm, am etc, and hear the music. I am noticing the little buttons on the bottom faintly flickering, and only the rings around the two round knobs are lit up. I am starting to think I should have left the dimmer wire, and possibly the power antenna wire (my car doesnt have one) disconnected? Could that be causing the problem? I noticed that on the harness adapter where there would be the power antenna wire, it connects to that yellow wire that goes along the antenna plug. Could someone help me out here? Do I have a bad stereo or did I connect one too many wires?
