Audio Install: Now Car Won't Start
 
I just installed the pioneer 4300, axxess steering control switch, and bazooka sub. I got all the audio stuff and harnesses connected, go to start the car, and nothing... All I get is a constant flashing "key" light and the "NO KEY" in the cluster. Ive heard of the steering lock failure, but before I tow it to the dealer, I want to make sure there isn't an easy fix for this or just a screw up on my part. Any help would be great!

BTW, on a very rare occasion I can get to accessory and key on/engine off, but no start and the "NO KEY" lit up.

did you put your key in the slot in the dash?

oh yeah, sorry, it does start that way.

Mine did the same thing I just got out of the car and locked it with the remote unlocked it and it started right up.

make sure everything got pluged back in, and maybe try the second remote. worst case unhook the battery for a few minutes and hook it back up and try again.

it's the RF antenna in your center console. it's probably left unplugged. :)

Where is this in the console? My car constantly doesn't want to realize I have the key until I take it out of my pocket (batteries are good). I want to see if maybe I can mess with it (or put my keys in the other pocket).

if you pull up your center console you will see a thinner wire running on the driver's seat side. that leads to the antenna. it needs to be plugged in.
