I uninstalled my AVIC-N3 from my car since I was going to install in my truck only to find out that when I hooked the power on (red, yellow, black wires to wiring harness) it wouldn't power on. I'm not sure if there is a security feature that prevents it from coming back on... Have checked the user guide and installation manual and it makes no mention anything like that. I have checked the fuse on the yellow wire.. everything good there. I hold the SRC button for a few seconds but no power comes on.. Don't know what happened it used to work fine before. Am I missing something? Is there an extra wire I need to hook up to 12V that I'm not aware of?? The first installation was done by a shop but now I'm just trying to do myself (I've done stereo installs before, just not on a high end unit like this...) Any ideas and feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

make sure to connect the hideaway box to the unit, you will only get the red security light without it.
