Hi!

I recently bought my 2008 C3 and decided to change the radio. I got a Pioneer MVH-S420BT and harness from halfords to replace the orignal radio with. When i connected them, i got sound for about 2 mins untill it completely cut off and now im getting no sound at all from it. I tried my orignal radio, that works fine with both FM radio and CD. I tried a completely different radio, that doesnt work either. I bought the correct harness and the MVH-S420BT works fine in other cars.

Im wondering if anyone else has had a similer issue or could pin point the problem.

Hi

When you say 'no sound', do you mean it powers up and you can select a source, set the volume but just no sound on any of the speakers when you fade and balance to each of the 4 corners?

Or it is just dead, no power, no lights.


You didn't say *which* harness you used :?:

The radios on, the lights are all there and I can change any source or setting. The harness I bought was a c3 compatible one from Halfords, I can't find a link to the exact one on their website.

I've tried both the aux and Bluetooth sources on the radio and no sound is coming from the speakers.
