Default New head unit Aerpro wiring harness questions

Hi all.

Picked up a single DIN JVC head unit on special at Supercheap, also got the required Aerpro harnesses, APP018 (https://aerpro.com/app018) and APP8JVC5.

Doing the install today and noticed the head unit wouldn't power on once everything was connected, and also that a spare red wire was remaining in the APP018 box.
Called Aerpro and they said that the red wire needs to be run to an accessory fuse, then plugged into a spot in the APP018 black harness plug.
I temporarily tapped the red wire into the passenger side cig lighter and confirmed the wire was getting power, plugged the other end into the black harness, then connected everything back up - but still no power to the head unit.

Would be nice if Aerpro included some instructions.

Could be a DOA head unit, not sure how to test powering it up since there's no wiring diagrams...?

Does CANBUS/ECU/PCM or anything need to be modified to accept the new head unit?
Am I just plugging things in wrong? Hope not lol.

Any ideas from anyone who's installed an aftermarket head unit?
