Default What did I forget?

What did I miss? I have a blue status light on both the dsr and amp. I have speaker wires plugged in for channels 1 and 2. I have the dsr with all channels playing. Why do I have no sound?

I pulled the pac GNI out, and plugged the dar inputs directly into the stereo, hoping to isolate a problem. It didn't work.

It may be a sit and wait thing, as the hand controls didn't want to work either. I'll try again in a minute.

I took the rca it's out of the dsr, and plugged them straight from Sony xav-ax5000 to the Evo. Still no sound.

Stupid question. Is the Sony muted somehow?

no, I am moving the volume up and down and confirming it on screen.

Everything worked fine before the disassemble. Now, the head unit will power on, but will not connect to Bluetooth, and I have 0 volts coming out of the RCAs.

I tried a known good amp and had the same issue. Is there a fuse somewhere on the Sony that my have blown?

Is the dsr input turned all the way down?
  1. Bypass the dsr and go straight to the amp.

I just tried to load a firmware update and it won't read either of the two drives I connected. I didn't take enough meds to handle this today!

I just ordered the 7000 from Crutchfield. I saw that the mounting and harness are the same for the 5000 and 7000. I'll see if a new head unit fixes the problem, if not use Crutchfields generous return policy.

Is the HU a new install? If so and you're playing music from your phone, turn the volume up on the phone.
Just a WAG.
