    don't know a lot about these,bm24,trimble,analogue tv tuner,amped loom,mk2 drive,new gps aerial.i will take pics later of the bits,,maybe ive left something unplugged.havent tha audio cables plugged in as im just checking if it works before taking the car apart,was also wondering if I can use the audio loom that's already in the car if I separate the wires.would save a lot of time.

    The screen wont do anything if (a) the radio or sat nav module is dead or (b) its not wired correctly or lastly (c) dead screen

    Have you tried using the radio does it work
