anyone wanna help me out w/the phatbox install?
actually, i did everything already. followed all the instructions and everything. its just doesn't work. i'd appreciate it if someone w/phatbox experience could overlook what i did and help me pinpoint my mistake or double check for a malfunction. thanks.

i just took it all out and put my cd changer back in for now
its not that hard to take the trunk area apart.....i guess i could try it in another car to see if it is infact the unit that's malfunctioning. cause it works with the docking cradle. and my head unit is working fine (cause it recognizes the cd changer).

should be super easy... may be malfunctioning
i literally just unplugged my cd changer(once i got the thing out) and plugged in the phatnoise and it works... there's nothing really more to it than that.

its either defective, which they have been known to have happen... OR...
your not programing it right with your head unit... did you get the manual? what stereo do you have if you need the intructions for a particular radio let me know i have all the manuals, etc....

did you follow the install instructions??
..there is a certain sequence to installing the cable...and dms...to get it to work correctly.
The biggest issue that people have...is the ground connection behind the head unit. However, your trunk CDC worked before....so I'm not sure.
Give me all the install details..and maybe I can help.
See my sig too...
