Sorry you are having the issue. Nice job on the install!

FYI - the seats wont heat unless the car is on. Try starting your car and hitting the buttons. I'll bet ya a buck fifty they work =). Good looking install!

Hmm, then I am at a loss. I have now installed 4 Metra kits and have not had an issue. One thing to check, there is the pink wire that runs from the back of the Metra face to the control module. It is independent of the (22?) pin connector. Make sure that is hooked up, as it is essential for full HVAC control.

Beyond that, I would call Metra up. They are really good people and want to help get things working.

Hang in there! I will work out =)

There is an update for the kit from metra, might need to contact them or your local metra dealer and ask about it. Just had to update one last week.

You talking about the phone mute (Pink wire) If so it's hooked up

Not having recent update would cause this?

No, not the phone mute. If memory serves, that's a brown wire. Give me a sec, i have a spare harness laying around someplace. I'll snap a pic for you.
