Well, I did it

Just picked her up today- a 2005 Titanium Gray RX8 and I LOVE IT. I can see why there are so many rotary converts- the car is incredible! So I thought I'd finally register and stop lurking these boards and say what's up I'll post pictures as soon as I can get a hold of a digicam... So, now all I need is a couple hundred more miles to get the car autocross-ready (hahaha B stock, here I come...)
So ya, thought I'd say hello and such- great forum by the way!

Welcome to the forum.

Check your manual for instructions on the stereo

Well ya it's on, shows the CD playing or radio station, etc. and I've cranked the volume all the way and back, made sure it wasn't muted...

Based on what you have said about the low miles I would assume you bought it new from a dealer, see if they can help you with the radio volume, unless you figured it out from the manual already.

that is strange to have it not muted and volume cranked but no output. Good luck with that and let us know what ends up fixing it.

Maybe check to make sure you haven't hit the mute button on the steering wheel?

Congrats!
