Just installed aftermarket radio - No sound?

The picture certainly helped out, plus PW is the electrical genius here! Good catch.

I went through this. Whether you have the 490 option listed or not if you have the Bose system you need the 490 adapter harness. I complained to Bergeville stating that they needed to make this more clear but I think it fell on deaf ears.

"If I look at the current wiring and the Continental and Becker diagrams I see the problem:

My current wiring does not use the B block (apparently this is unused in HiFi option/Nokia cars)
My current wiring uses the C block pins to send the signals to the amp; the Continental diagram doesn't show that these are used for anything. It only mentions C4 and C6 for SWRC.
The only output to the amp on the Continental is the B block which explains why I have no sound because it is not being used
I therefore need a harness that goes from the Continental B block to the existing harness C1 block.

If the above is correct then the other/M490 harness should work. It also means that not having option code M490 does not necessarily mean that the simple harness will work."

Ha, my thought process as I was figuring this out was exactly the same. As soon as I stopped simply putting square pegs in square holes and actually thought about it....
