kenwood KDC-X859
I tried to connect my Kenwood to my 93 E34. I connected all the wires, the Radio plays,but I have no sound.
I used a wire harness (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1507468#) so that I didnt have to cut any wires, and a antenna adaptor. Even though the antenna for the factory has 2 wire connections. I wrapped the smaller of the 2 in electric tape then connected the other to the radio. There is one wire not accounted for which says "Panel display". not sure if I should connect that to the power .

Does anyone have any ideas?

sounds like something with the amp turn on wire. It's been awhile since I did my headunit but I believe it's a white wire

You need to use the blue/white on the Kenwood or you will have no audio on CD/AUX
