Question
I baught a new (DUAL) mp3/wma car stereo cd changer. I have hooked up all the wires through an adapter. everything I read about the specific wiring, I had done. MY radio did not start nor turn on after I pressed the reset button located on the new stereo deck. I looked back at the connectors and realized that the double din stock cd changer didn't have the ignition switch wire also known as the accessories wire, described to be yellow. I found no trace of this accessories wire.      PLEASE HELP, I've spent 2 full days installing this stereo already.

               appreciate the work THANKS -
