I've bought the below stereo and this wiring kit.

I've just fitted the stereo and no sound. :headbang:

I have steering wheel controls (would like to use them) and the 10 speaker system. Please can someone tell me what I have done wrong?
 
I dont think you can just throw in a head unit on the 10 speaker system Dan due to it having a seperate amp, you have effectively fitted an amplified head unit into an amplified system, if you had the 6 speaker system its possible as that has no seperate amp.. changing the head unit on the 10 speaker set up is a lot more complex

on the plus side you have a decent system, you can wire in an aux easily enough then piggy back off the fuseboard a usb input, then just buy a bluetooth usb/aux unit and have a permanent bluetooth system to your stereo all tucked away behind the dash. did it on my e85 and its a pretty straight forward job

I've seen this on reading another post. It all depends on if I've got 'DSP' :|

do you have dsp though, you can have the 10 speaker with or without, there is also a version of that plug in for dsp i think it runs about 20 or 30 quid more
