So I've spent the day trying to install an Xtrons PB7656BAP head unit. I had it plugged in and functioning. I turned off the ignition and was repositioning and then tried again and now the headunit is not receiving power. Some stray observations:
Plugged into the head unit: 1. L-shaped radio input adapter cable attached to the Xtrons-provided radio cable which itself is attached to the factory radio cable, 2. GPS, 3. USB and 4. power adapter cable
I have replaced the 15A fuse on the back, no difference
When I turn on the ignition, the Xtrons head unit will not power on nor will the buttons light up when I have the headlights on.
Swapping back to my factory BMW Business head unit, the radio will light up with the headlights, but it will not turn on. I replaced its 10A fuse as well with no change in result.
The HVAC control unit functions normally.
All wires to the power cable appear to be intact.
Thoughts? I am at a bit of a loss because even the factory radio head unit isn't functioning, which suggests its an issue with the car's cabling, but visual inspection doesn't result in any immediate solution.
