Okay guys… I need your help! Got everything installed and wired up but it won’t turn on? The radio says “power off” and won’t turn on. I have 12v at the LC2i and both amps… I have checked the fuses mentioned in other posts (amp fuses #115 and #127 & ACM fuse #32) and all are good. Does the LC2i need a remote in? I figured it would auto sense… Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

It turns on but the radio doesn’t turn on… it just stays audio off.

Gotta be a loose wire somewhere imo. I assume pushing the on/off button sends a signal over the can bus to the oem amp telling it to turn on.

I used a Zen unit to tap all the channels so two plugs to plug in and the wiring from the amp was done.

If your audio won't turn on in Sync, it has nothing to do with the LC2i which has auto-turn-on by default. It sounds like your ACM isn't working. Can you pull codes? Did you mess with that at all? Where did you pull you signal from?

I only have my ZFG tuner to check codes and there weren’t any that it saw. I pulled my source wires from the sub inputs and ran those to my LC2i. When I plug the power in to the controller the yellow “maximized” light will come on for a second and then turn off. I can get the “power“ light to come on if I do a 12v jumper in to the controller but the radio still does not come on? I will redo my lead wires to make sure they are correct and properly joined.
