Help! I Busted My Stereo

diderot · November 15th, 2006, 10:38 PM

I took out the factory stereo in my 2000 mustang today, to put in an after market one I pulled from my old ride.

The wires matched perfectly, but when I pluged it all in, it didn't work.

Then, when I pulled it back out and put the OEM radio in, it doesn't work either.

Is there some sort of anti-theft device at work here that I don't know about?

How do I fix this?
