you need to contact clarion and tell them the problem sounds like you have a defective stereo and they should replace it under warranty

then it might be wired wrong

Try to check first the fuse on the fuse box of your boat if it is still good then the fuse of your stereo is located at the back of the stereo itself. Detached the stereo from its housing or holder you will see the fuse at the back of it.

Drain the radiator by removing the drain plug on the lower right side. If the coolant is fairly new, save it and reuse it. While the radiator is draining, find the code for the car stereo. It should be in with the owner's manual or sales paperwork. (You will need this code later because you are going to disconnect the battery and remove it for access to the thermostat.) Remove the battery. Follow the lower radiator hose to the engine to locate the thermostat housing. Loosen the hose clamp and detach the hose. If it feels stuck, try to twist it first--then pull it off.Remove the thermostat cover bolts and detach the housing cover. If it is stuck, tap it with a soft-face hammer to jar it loose. Be prepared for some additional coolant to spill when the gasket seal is broken. Remove all traces of the old gasket. Install a new rubber seal over the new thermostat and install into the housing. Make sure the jiggle valve is on top and the spring side of the thermostat is directed into the engine. Replace the housing cover and bolt up. Replace the radiator hose. Replace the battery. Refill with coolant. Use the stereo code to get the radio to work.

Connect each wire yourself if your were unable to obtain a wiring harness to install your car stereo.

Connect the positive wire from each speaker to the positive connector on the back of the stereo first. Then connect the negative wire from each speaker to the negative connector on the back of the stereo. If there is only one wire coming from the speakers, the speakers are grounded at the chassis. In this case you will need to install new speaker wiring.

3

Connect the ground (-/black) wire of the stereo to a screw or bolt near where the radio is mounted in the dash. Make sure the wire is attached to metal, not plastic or fiberglass.

4

Connect the 12 constant and ignition power wires (both +/red) to the new stereo. Refer to your stereo's installation manual to make sure these go to the correct places.

Hello,

Before removing the stereo you need to ensure that the battery's grounding cable is
disconnected from the negative lead. Most BMW models have the battery housed under
the hood while others (a relative few) store the battery on the left side of the
vehicle in the trunk. Use a 10 mm wrench to loosen the bolt holding the clamp of
the grounding cable around the negative lead.

Use a trim pry tool to remove the vent housing above the stereo.
The vents can be removed to allow access to the stereo or removed completely.
Once the perimeter of the vent housing is loose from the dash, you can feed the
wiring that connects to the hazard light button through the front of the vents.
With the hazard switch pushed forward, simply disconnect the power supply to
completely free the vent assembly.

The climate control group at the bottom of the stereo also needs to be removed to
access the stereo. The climate control housing can be removed by hand. Grab the
climate control at the bottom and the top. Pry from the bottom and remove.
The climate controls do not need to be removed completely. When it is free from
the dash there will be enough slack in the wiring to allow you to place it aside
to access the stereo.

There are two screws that hold the factory stereo in its dock. Those screws,
located on either side of the stereo facing upward, can be removed using
Phillips-head screwdriver. Once the screws are removed, the deck slides forward to
allow access to the wiring at the rear of the stereo. The wire groups at the rear
need to be removed and can be done so in any order. The four wiring groups connect
to the antenna, the amplifier, the speakers, and the power supply (the battery).

If you plan to install an aftermarket stereo, most will be compatible with BMW
wiring. If not, you can connect the wiring groups to a wiring harness adapter
before connecting to the new unit.

Take care and good luck

The best way is to buy a stereo installation kit for your paticular car. It will have a housing for the new stereo to fit into your car and a plug that you can wire your stereo into, and plug it into the existing plug. Most automotive stereo audio stores.
