Uh oh radio!
I removed my MID display to see about swapping in a MID with the extended computer. I used the instructions from the home page and it was quick and easy. After a few minutes of examining the connector and peeking in the hole, I plugged it back in and now there is no power to the MID. My radio plays, but can only be controlled from the steering wheel. The MID is completely dead. I've checked the connection several times and nothing! What am I missing?

Not sure if this has anything to do with anything, but just noticed my trip computer info still works in the gauge cluster.

Unplugging the battery didn't work Any other ideas?

I've never been under the cargo area before and it was quite a sight. That was definitely the first time I had to break out an owner's manual to figure out how to get to the battery. Thought that tire strap lift thing that plugs into the tailgate latch was pretty neat.
