Alpine head unit connections / patch leads - NO POWER

[The Mighty Quinn]

I've been trying to connect my new Alpine head unit today (CDE 178BT).

I have an Alpine KTP445 inline amp under the glovebox as well, and everything (bar the steering wheel controls) worked ok with my previous Alpine head unit.

However, I'm not getting any power to the head unit with things connected up as illustrated in the attached PDF - am I missing something obvious here?

I've left the steering wheel control interface box disconnected in order to get some radio stations saved before plugging it in.

I've lost the control panel of my previous Alpine unit, but I plugged it in (with its own supplied patch lead) and although I had no real function or sound available, I was able to eject an old cd from the head unit - which surely suggests that power was going to that one?

Not much use with this kind of thing, so if anyone can point me in the right direction (new patch leads? - if so, which ones will work?), it would be much appreciated.


Cheers,
Karl.
