amp

I just tapped a inline converter into the head unit but now the head unit and everything in that cluster stopped working but blows air from ac still, fuses seem ok but is there a fuse I'm unaware of?

My previous VF Calais wagon was written off after hail storm damage so I removed the Kicker ZX200.2 amp and Alpine speakers before they carted it off.

I was listening to my music at a decent level (but not excessively loud which is why I'm so annoyed) and the cap on it fell off and rattled. Rendering the whole thing useless. Anytime I use...

I have a 2008 Series I VE Calais without Subs. I've come across a factory set of subs cheap from a wrecked vehicle, including the parcel shelf etc. I know an upgrade from the factory setup would be better but I'm not too worried - the price is right and I just want some improved bass...
