Hi everyone, new to the forum.

I just bought a AVIC-8200nex to switch out my old kenwood headunit on my toyota supra. I have an aftermarket amplifier using RCA cables to the unit which works fine with my old kenwood. I got the harness all set up, plugged in the rca wires to the amplifier and I'm not getting any audio. I though maybe it was a cable or amplifier issue so I bought the 8200nex into the house. I hooked up a 12 volt dc power source and connected it to my home speaker via rca cables and put in a cd and still no sound. Anyone have similar issue or a quick fix or do you guys think i got a bad unit? seems like everything else is working on the unit. any info is appreciated.

is the yellow/Black cable grounded???? If so it will mute the radio.

No. The yellow/black mute wire is left alone. Nothing connected to it.

Did you ever figure this out? I'm having the same issue, moved it to my car that I need the preamp's and they dont output anything

have you tried factory reset. then pull the radio apart and check if the preout is still connect internal

I did the reset and the firmware update, taking it apart and checking the internals seems a bit extreme at the moment

There are no tricks, if the unit has been installed properly, factory reset and still does not work correctly....return to seller for warranty or replacement.

This appears to be a common problem, I wonder if there is any software switch that needs to be turned on like the sub-woofer button. I have seen a youtube video that they were installing a Alpine block amp and had the same problem with the RCAs but worked fine thru the wiring harness
