If you have a non standard stereo fitted then chances are your not turning on the amplifier in the ariel base. try putting 12V onto the black wire with a white stripe which goes to the connector to the stereo from the car. Then if your signal is ok connect it to the remote lead from your head unit to make it turn off when you turn the stereo off
