Hello, I just recently bought one of these cheap, crappy 25 dollar XO Vision car stereos. The stereo's input was not the same size at the car's so I cut the wires and spliced them, comparing the old setup to the new wires. I believe I wired everything correctly, the red power wire connects to the "ACC B+" wire. I swiped that wire against some metal and it did spark (it also blew my fuse but I switched it out) so I know it has juice.

When I turn on my car, no matter what setting the key is in I cannot turn the stereo on. Any suggestions?

A pic of my wiring, yes I know it's sloppy but I worked with all I had


A pic of the new stereo's wiring diagram


A pic of the old stereo's diagram, as well as the old wiring so I know what is what


I know this one is blurry, the way the ports are numbered is as follows:

9 10 11 -- 12 13 14 15 -- 16 17 18
1 2 3 4 --------------- 5 6 7 8


Hopefully this is enough info, if not I can provide it. Anyone's insight is much appreciated and will seriously go far. Thanks!!

First thing to do is to make sure you have 2 forms of 12 volts at the stereo harness your orange wire of the car is 12 volt constant and your yellow wire is 12 volt switched (Accessory). Ground is black, these 3 wires are mandatory for your stereo to turn on.
If these wires are hooked up and hooked up properly your deck will turn on, if it doesn't check and see if there is a fuse on the back of the deck, that may need replacing. If there is no fuse the deck is the fault.

Thanks, I'm going to look at it now. I did not see a fuse on the back, there is a fuse on the wires coming from the harness provided for the red and yellow wires. If my speakers are wired wrong could it be preventing it from turning on? I am thinking about removing all speaker wires and running it with the three needed.

EDIT: Nevermind the speaker question, I re-read your response.

second edit: So my red wire on the deck (ignition B+) should be wired to constant or switched?

Red is switched, Yellow is constant on your deck harness.
