well, if its not getting power... Make sure you have 12 volts on the red and orange wire. Orange to constant 12 volt source, and red to a switched 12 volt source. It should light up, and then tell you it needs a code. you cant just put a code into a dead unit. Maybe the units NG? test your power wires with a meter.

nope it's not dead, the adapter harness i assume a gm , does not carry a positive. u have to run an external positive and rem. do a test run see if u can find voltage reading if you cna't that's your issue. it's very common acctually so good luck.
