I added 12V to the "S" pin as Dave B said. The good - The radio fired up! Ironically the anti-theft radio did not display "SAFE" and appears to need no code. The bad- no sound? I have speakers hooked up, but I am getting no sound - with Cassette or radio. I stuffed a wire in the antenna slot and scan does stop eventually on a station, but no sound. One of the pins is labeled with a speaker looking icon and +, perhaps that needs 12V as well? I have a overnight business trip, so to be continued....
