RA4/RA3 troubleshooting steps

RA4/RA3 Radio unit won't power on?

After installing your 8.4 RA4 or RA3 head unit, and turning on your vehicle, you should get a splash screen right away.
If your screen is completely black, with no backlight, with the engine on, put your ear near your speakers and listen for a low whine/screech. If you hear this, it means that your radio is getting power but no CAN signal from your vehicle's BCM. 
You'd want to have your vehicle checked at a dealer.
