Hello all i just bought a 2005 RX8 MT and i am loving it so far but the only problem i have is that the Radio doesn't work i have the 6 disc in dash cd changer and 9 speaker Bose system i can tell that it all works but there is just no sound and i can't figure it all out. I could take the car to a dealer and have them look at it but that is a 5 hour drive away and i can't get the time off to do it so i have to do it myself. So any help on this would be good i also would like to know if there is an amp and where it is cause there just might be a loose wire but i am afraid to take apart the dash without knowing where all the screws are and such so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Start with the obvious.
Is the volume up?
Is mute on?

 

The main amp is under the rear deck. You can see it (and the plugs) from the trunk. The front door amps go through the rear amp also. Check your plugs & fuses.

 

I'm going to have to go with jstkln on this one.. I'm not sure but I would look for the fuse that drives the bose amp (i'm not sure if it's the same one that does the head unit)

the main fuse box is near the hood / trunk release.. I don't know if there are any other fuses for it.. but thatd where I would start

 

i had this exact type of thing happen to me check the fuse box down by the pedals. one of my fuses blew and i lost sound. every thing ran fine but no sound. i replaced one fuse and it was fixed
