thanks for the input! another question. im kinda connected the the hu wires with the wire harness for the car. Kinda as in i twisted the wires together just enough to test the unit. Now the unit works ok besides the fact that it wont eject and plays cd when i randomly move the unit around. I dont want to call it broken because, it problably isnt, but if i were to solder (which i will be doing anyways on friday) could i expect the unit to function correctly? just want to know how to title this unit: broken, working, or something in between
