Just installed. Stuck with Mute on.

I just installed an F700bt in my subaru sti. I used the scosche harness and soldered/headshrink wrapped everything when I put together the harness. I wired did the hardware bypass with the mute wire and wired the mute wire and the parking brake wire to ground on the harness.

 

The unit work as it should, but the mute box displays in the upper right hand corner and no av sources will play (radio or ipod). I do get sound in the form of button press dings and if i dial someone via bluetooth I can hear the ringing through my speakers.

 

I'm guessing there is something wrong with the way I did my mute wire, but I didn't have a chance to pull the radio out again tonight (I will tomorrow night).

 

Also, it could be due to my car battery about to die.

 

Side problem: does a 4th gen non-photo ipod work with this headunit. I got a message saying it wasn't supported??

did you move the mute wire to the correct new pin

I believe that I might have mixed up the pictures...oh well. I'll check it tomorrow.

 

I also found out that the 4th gen ipd isn't compatible. I guess i'll figure something else out.

if you didnt move the mute wire and grounded it then you would have put your unit into mute for as long as the wire was grounded

I bet I looked at the diagram, unseated the wire from the harness, go distracted, looked at the same picture on the diagram, and put it back in the same hole. We'll find out in a few hours.

We were exactly right. Swtched the mute wire to the right location and everything works.
