I pulled the stock 6 disc changer out but left the magazine still in. I want to remove the magazine so I plugged it back into the truck but it did not power up, must have lost power to connector when I removed the HU and amps. I would like to power it up to eject the magazine. I searched the forum and found the pin out and put ground to pin 4 and 12v to pin 10 with no luck. Also tried ground to pin 9 and 12v to pin 10 also no luck. Any suggestions?
Thank You

Pin 4 is ground, Pin 10 is 12V+, however, you also have to send a 12V+ to pin 11, as that is the "Audio On" sensing wire that turns the player on. :)

Thank you!
I will try this when I get home.
 






No problem, tell me how it goes.

Went great thanks again. I ended up cutting the plug out of the truck and using the wires. It helped as it had the wire colors to match pin layout, I actually was reading the pin out reversed without it.
 






Good to hear. You're welcome. :)
