i took out the radio and cd palater originaly with car didnt touch no boxes will check that wires are still in tact may have knocked them when putting new unit in what colour are they and were do they go sounds like a possible area to look at.
will post if success .

the little cage what the radio bolts too it has two boxes above it, like a brown box and a lighter brown box both have plugs going into the rear i think its the dark brown box which is the ecu for the ariel

I had exactly the same problem yesterday after installing my DVD player.Join the blue/white wire in your special adapter harness to the blue wire in the same harness.

You gotta phono jack style plug for your camera and you should have red and black wire for camera power feed.Odviously red is power (live when ignition on) and black is earth.Sounds like orange is the live,it should tell you with instructions.

the manual dont mention camera at all other than wire description orange is camera thats it so i need to wire the camera to one reverse light and send a wire from the reverse light live to the orange wire at back of unit so cuttant tells player to swop channel to camera channel video in 1 :search:
