It sounds to me as if you are wanting to buy a pre-owned deck that has some electronic problem. I simply said " Don't Do It!!!" as in don't waste your money if it has problems.

Good Luck.

The only reason I'm even attempting this is because I know I can buy it for an extremely low price retail is 600$ I'm sure I'd pay less then 100 if it works... if not then oh well just wanted to see if it was a simple fix or an actual defective deck...

I don't remember that part coming with my car I had to buy it separate and when I didn't plug it in my power light would blink but not power on til I hooked up the antenna, idk bro

While its ok to speculate... We don't know the truth... While I don't condone theft... I am sure at some point in time we have all bought something used... And not inquired to where it originated from...
