You should have a fuse box in your engine pay, long skinny black lid if serves my memory right? Take the lid off and check the fuses under that, should be a fuse list on the back on the lid!

lol, usually once the battery power is lost on a head unit, or u first install it you have to press the 'on' or 'power' button on the remote or headunit itself, then it will turn on automatically everytime u start it.
