Climate Control Unit stopped working after AUX install
So I ordered the AUX cable and everything went as smooth as can be, but when i put the pieces back together, the climate control unit stopped working. I connected all three cables in the back of, but it does not light up and the I-Drive is turned all the way down when I try to access the climate control.
Did I miss a step somewhere?

You must've accidentally shorted a connector/wires while you were installing the AUX cable. Glad to see you've figured out the cause for climate control outage.

One reason why it is a good idea to disconnect the battery when doing ANY work on these cars. A simple short can A) pop a fuse (good) or 2) fry a $1300 module (eeek!).
