Odd problem. Which radio?
Be sure to check both fuses.

Maybe the radio is bad. When you hook it up you should get something in the display. If you have NO display message you have no where to go. You can drive around for 2+ hours with it on and try the code and see if it works. However, what good would it be if it works but does not display anything???

I know a guy that recently got one from a jy for $5. Just go get another one.
