Read where someone had a loc and like you, the + and - touched, therefore, shorted out the rca output.

Damn, so that means the LOC is toast?

Or does that mean I need new rcas? Sorry I'm such a beginner

I would say so. What brand did you have? Asking because at least they are not expensive.
I never liked the idea of using a loc but I understand it can be easier in these newer cars than changing out the head unit when you have 100’s of options such as steering controls, gps.

New loc is my guess. The rca output on your loc prob has shorted out.

Ds18 loc, it was like 90$. And yeah that's why I went the LOC option. Newer car and harder to put in headunit and keep controls.

Maybe you can try a cheaper loc for like $20 just to see if that is your prob

Okay I'll try that. The connections are so close together. It seems kind of silly really.
