Hi. I've tried fitting an aftermarket pioneer stereo to my 2010 Clio. The unit just won't power on at all even though I've purchased the required wiring adaptor. I couldn't plug the aerial in as I need an adaptor for that. Does anyone think this could be the issue? Does the aerial lead act as an earth? Any help would be appreciated!

Checked with ignition on?
You will have to double check the adaptor is directing the power through the correct pins

Second that above make sure all the wires in the ISO are connected correctly lol I've just had this!
Try swapping the red and yellow wires around, some headunits/cars are wired up opposite to each other.
Not got a mates car you can try headunit in?
What adaptor did you buy? The one you've linked in the post above is merely an extender so is pointless.
Chances are being canbus it'll be needing an ignition feed. Ideally you need a multimeter so you can check its getting both 12v feeds.
So yea don't go all guns blazing into halfords claiming you got given a faulty unit. They'll be able to test it in there too.
