And the deck was new...? Also did the original radio say Blaupunkt on it...? The harness in the link appears to be for a totally different car...This was in the box attached to the harness that plugs into the back of the kenwood...? Is there crimp caps or buttconnectors attaching the two together...We sell the 142 and have never seen/heard of this harness in the link associated w/ the radio...!

You can also take the radio out and bench test it to rule out faulty stereo...Twist the red and yellow wires together from kenwood harness...If you have a old 12v battery laying around,use this as power supply...If not ,you can use your battery under the hood...Take RED / yellow to 12v(positive battery terminal)...Black to ground(negative battery terminal)...And see if radio powers on...If it works fine ...Attach a speaker to the radio and turn up volume...Is everything still ok...? Just wanted to throw that in here too...!

That diagram you posted is dead on for my the wires that were in my car. That may not be the exact model of harness that was used, it just looked very similiar to that in size. It was the only spot on the back of the 142 that it had, none of the wider ones could have fit into it? The stereo is right out of the box. And it is getting power to it, it turns on no problem when I'm parked, only starts flashing/not playing when the car is moving.

If there is a VSS wire in the factory harness, you may have the radio grounded to the VSS wire. Ground the radio to the metal inside the dash.

Also, I did not see Blaupunkt anywhere on the original radio. I found an image of the original stock deck after searching online everywhere for it!

After messing with it for another two hours this morning I've decided to take it in to the techs at BestBuy and have them install it. i'll post back here when they let me know what it was I did wrong, just incase anyone else has this issue in the future.

Thank you guys for your help, it is greatly appreciated. All this because I was being cheap and trying to save 50$ on the installation labor costs.
