Angry Problems with PCM

I have installed a PCM unit, thanks to the detailed instructions found here on this great forum, and it doesn't work as it supposed to. When I push the power button everything turns on and I get a message: no navigation, no phone and no amp. I understand that I don't have nav and phone right now but what about the amplifier? I think this is why I get no sound through the speakers. Help somebody...

PS: I don't have Bose.

Odd but it sounds like your car is programmed to think it has those items (including Bose) and thus reports them missing and sends no sound. A trip to the dealer to put the car on a PIWIS machine is likely in order.

The system has to be entered into the MOST system and CAN to be operational. This is done with a PIWIS tester.

Best ,

If its used, then it is programmed for those items, and now they dont exist. Dealer will fix it.

I have the same problem with my PCM and the dealer couldn't fix it. They said that the PCM was for a bose system, and since my car didn't have the bose system, they couldn't get the sound to work. All this after paying for 2 hours in labor charges, I have a PCM with no sound I guess I have to sell this unit to someone with a bose system now. Does this sound right to you guys?

I just plugged in my second aftermarket PCM unit and everything works as it was intended. Not only does the unit work but because I have Sport Chrono I now have access to all of the Sport Chrono plus features like DRL and automatic doorlocking and full lap timing.

I didn't do a thing other than plug it in. The first obviously came from a car without the sport chrono plus.
