Find the wire that is connected to the blue wire on your head unit. Connect that wire to the blue/white wire on your head unit instead.

well I'll get to the point. If there is go into the options and there is a setting that looks like two cars crashing (on my HU, is OLED), I think it's DSI. Change it to the other setting and see if it works.... I had the same problem and it drove me nuts, then it was just an option //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

This is valid advice if you are running all of your speakers off of amplifiers and not powering anything off of the head unit.

If that ^^^ is the case then it sounds like you've got the remote turn-on input for your amp(s) connected to the power antenna activation output rather than the remote accessory activation output.

In most cases the antenna lead will only have current when in tuner mode. If there are two blue wires in your head unit's harness, one solid blue and the other blue with a white stripe, connect it to whichever one you aren't using currently and it should remedy the problem. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

It also applies to head units in vehicles with factory amplifiers, which are increasingly common. This happens all the time in Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles with Infinity systems, because the aftermarket harness manufacturers use blue for the amp turn-on wire, which causes people who don't know better to match it with the blue power antenna wire.

Gotcha - didn't know that. I learned something useful today so +1 for you!
