AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH...... Just spent $1062 on my heap of crap VLT. Pick the car up and no music, so I thought fuse. nope..ok lets look at the wiring, got power to the head unit, power to the amp no power from the amp wire from the head unit. Up for yet another dash (note: must learn to curve my temper) after ripped it out. I have the head unit flashing. Thats fu*ken it.. Can anyone help with what may be the problem.

I really hope for the cars sake it somthing simple as that. With the flashinf thing. If the power wire was conected to the blinkers then I would expect it to flash like it is doing. If that explenation helps.

should have a direct power from the HU to the Battery just as you do with the AMP and then have it connected to accessories on the ignition this will stop the flashing of the HU but the cutting out is proberbly like the other guys have said maybe a lose ground wire

I'll have a look at the earth wire in the morning. I really do hope that is the problem.
