Pins 1 and 9 in the after market replacement harness provide no matching pins for the VT wires, which read at B+.
Pins 1 and 12 in the stock radio connector have no pins in the aftermarket connector. These PK wires are supposed to be at B+ , but were at 0 volts.
I connected VT to PK...
Thanks, AH64ID. The stock amplifier is gone. connector that came with the radio was meant to be connected to the wire harness that replaced the C2 amplifier connector. The pic shows the wires not used by this configuration. The problem is there somewhere. My guess is that a B+ circuit is...

The Jensen unit came with a radio connector where the wires had to be soldered to the amplifier C2 adapter. The radio works fine, as do the steering wheel audio controls via the Axxess. The amp C2 replacement connector doesn't continue the VT wires at pins 1 and 9. No provision was made...
Just FYI, in the Navy we had a last ditch analysis tool. It was called the Smoke Test: apply power and the first component to start smoking was probably the initial problem. ;)
Thanks. I have a feeling RAP isn't the problem/ The receiver module for the RKE is now not receiving when the key is out of the ignition. I'm beginning to think that using only the key for entry isn't so bad.
Thanks for the update. I don't know what RAP is. The RKE I mentioned is Remote Keyless Entry.This works off a module on the back of the instrument panel. Somewhere I'm missing the connection from the stock amplifier Audio C1 or from the radio. Tomorrow I'm applying 12V to any 'extra' wire and...
Thanks, Ozymandias. I agree with you. I already have the vehicle specific Axxess info. The radio came with a plug and pre-stipped wires with a recommendation to solder the connections. Which I did. The new radio, tweeters, bass blockers and Axxess bluetooth adapter are all working just fine...

Installing a Jensen CDR5620 DVD Receiver, I cut the connectors for the radio leaving the wires ready for solder to the new unit. I installed the Axxess Bluetooth adapter [AWSC1]. Everything works except for the key fob. I can use it to open the door locks when accessory power is on, but it...
I just installed a Jensen CDR5620 DVD Receiver and had to modify the subframe – so the radio would fit in. It was easy enough, use my Dremel and took out plastic where the bottom of the radio fits. I removed a little at a time until it fit.
I'm not sure what year truck you're talking about, but I'll put my two cents in on what I do with mine. I have an 03 2500.
There are two holes through the frame that allow you to run a extension through them to hit those two lower bolts on the AC compressor. If you've already rounded bolt off...
