'TEL' means the unit has been muted by the muting wire in the back of the unit. You most likely have 12v going to it. Completely disconnect the mute wire and never hook it up to anything again. |

Sorry about that, apparently the link to get to this forum is down (I have it bookmarked, heh).
Yeah, the mute wire can be hooked up to a special type of cell phone so when you recieve or make a call, the stereo automatically mutes itself.
I believe it is the solid brown wire... |

Did you have any luck finding the 'TEL' (muting) wire? |

Telephone mute lead is usually brown, and from my past experiences it needs to be grounded, not wired positive (as far as i can remember) Or it could be a security thing in the deck...try resetting the unit with a pin (if it has a tiny reset button) |

Does your unit have any wires not listed in the above picture? If it does, please list their colors...
The mute wire might be a different color...
Also, what is the brand and model number on your unit? |
