I have a 2013 Volkswagen Tiguan and I tried hooking up my aftermarket radio and it has no power ? Not sure what to do? I double and tripled check everything but nothing helps.

As it’s aftermarket and we have no idea either what it is or how you installed it there’s no way on earth anybody here can say more than “somethings wrong” !
Yeah there just seems to be no power going to the head unit. I tried 2 different head units. I’m confused because I’ve hooked plenty of head units up before and they’ve all turned on with no issues
You might need to use vcds the bcm may have disabled the radio feed due to a short. Long as you used an integration kit as the radio is fed by a constant feed only and canbus controls off and on tapping directly to the harness will cause issues and lockouts
Yeah I used a kit and a wiring harness purchased from crutchfield. The factory radio comes on with no problem even after attempting to get the aftermarket radio to work I put the old factory radio in and it instantly powers back on.
So either a bad harness. The fuse on the back of the new radio is bad or a bad radio. With all the chip shortages any electronics have been having a substantial failure increase.
You really need a multimeter to test out the supply at the head end of the harness, there's nothing VW about this.
