Here's the deal. I bought a 2003 D2 with an aftermarket JVC head unit that worked fine. However, I prefer to maintain the factory look in the dash and the steering wheel controls, so I purchased a used factory Alpine unit off eBay. I am unsure of the model year model but the part number is XQD101400LNF. This unit has one antennae coax cable socket. When powered up, I can only get AM & WB with sound, but no FM. There is no request for a security code displayed, and if I disconnect the antennae coax, I lose both the AM Band Weather Band. So I'm confident the antennae is working fine.
So, figuring the radio was kaput I picked up another Alpine head unit out of a 2003 HSE, part number XQD00034PUY. The only visible difference is this unit has the "i" button on the far left of the face panel and two antennae coax cable sockets. one regular and one small. When I plug in the second unit, the display shows AM,FM, and WB. The seek function finds local stations but now I get no sound output. Still no request for a security code.
To add to the mystery, I do not have a CD changer under the passenger seat and there is no wiring harness to indicate there ever was. Same goes for the amp under the drivers seat. There is no evidence that anyone removed the entire portion of the wiring that ran the CD changer, amp or removed the smaller antennae coax cable. All the factory wire wrap and ties are still in place.
In addition, on the in-dash harness for the radio. I only have three plugs. The tan, the gray and the yellow. All fuses are good, and the antennae on the right rear side glass is plugged in.
Being that my truck is an "S" model is it possible that it only came equipped with a tape/radio head unit? Would I need to search for a year model / trim level specific head unit?
I'm stumped.
Thanks, Eddie
