C$ headunit turns on then off?
hey everyone, first off, i have a 93 6 speed coupe, the CDM was in the cubby hole, i do not have a passenger airbag. I wired everything up today, correctly to the best of my knowledge. I wired my headunit from the orange yellow and black wires from the CDM. orange to yellow, yellow to red, etc. I dont, however have the antenna connected.
Heres my problem, when i turn the key the headunit does not come on. i can hit eject on the headunit and it gets power and ejects the cd then turns right back off. the power button does not work but if i hit display it turns on then off. This is an aftermarket cd player by the way, im not sure what product number, but it has a cd player/aux slot.
anyone know what the problem may be? im contemplating running the yellow wire to the fuse box

Sounds like you have the battery constant and ground wires properly connected to the HU, but the switched power isn't there. I don't know anything about C4's, but the red wire from the HU definitely needs to have 12v supplied when the car is running.
