You love the American dollar but you must pay Uncle Sam when you get paid! Everyone must pay taxes even the great Steve!
Best regards.

I'm so laughing
Gee,
we should have little icons that show what threads are the drama on the boards. This thread was too funny. Especially when we go at each other.
I'd have a Starbucks, but I'm busy with my Tanqueray & Tonic.
Ed
ROFLMAO

here's the connections:
... and i get this:
in sum, the comand turns on fine... i can navigate, etc... but there's no sound coming out from the speakers... ( I Have BOSE ) is there anything that i need to do???

guys my apologies to everyone but please understand me... i don't know what to do... and i am so excited about my new "toy" ...
You can call me Magda. 
so that's the canbus connector? i thought the canbus was the other connector that i've already plugged (the above one on the picture).
But i still have a problem that canbus dangling wasn't connected...cause on my comand there's no connector that fits him.
Is there any adapter?
Picture:
So the canbus connects to the middle connector? the one where i pointed a green arrow, right??
I am sorry for "stealing" your thread but im a bit desperated.
thanks for everything
