Question
Hey Ernesto,

A friend of mine has been attempting to put a deck into a 2000 Ford Taurus. Over the last three days he's managed to somehow tamper with the auto locks, dash lights and speedometer. After effecting everything you could think of, he still has not got the deck to work. It powers up, but there is no sound. The only thing he gets is a high pitch squeeling noise that increases in pitch and volume as you push on the excelerator. He purchased a kit from best buy and has attached and reattached every wire he can think of and has now requested my help. I feel as though this is definately out of my league, b/c i have only wired stereos into my old school regal and I'm sure this is way different. I figure i should probably ask a professional before i make the problem worse. Any information you can provide me with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

hi:
SUPRISE THE UNIT AT FRONT IS NOT A RADIO  it is only a controller the actual radio is in the trunk  left side
all the cables are there and best buy is the worse place to get help or buy a plug 17 year  old kids don't know car audio

the radio he took out don't have antenna plug because it is not a radio

all the wires need to be run to the trunk
nothing needs to be plug at front
