Unit
seems dead - step by step:
For cars with CANBUS
First thing to test is power
going into the stereo.
These stereos only need 3 things being
a) power on the Yellow wire
b) power on the Red Wire
c) earth on the Black
Using a multimeter /test light test if you have power on both the red and yellow
when the engine is on.
If no
check ALL fuses. Unlike the old radio these units will travel
through 2 fuses (normally the radio for
accessories and another for a constant) and so all fuses need to be
checked.
If all fuses are ok replace the CANBUS module. Please
send a picture of the module
If yes
Put the car in reverse and check for an image
If you see the image you have a voltage leak at the back of
the car - get this tested
If you do not see an image the screen needs to be replaced.
