Can you even rig up an aftermarket headunit with the way the dash electronics are set up in these cars?
With mute engaged, the display works as normal and radio tunes ... but no sound.

The Amp is in the trunk area. A competent car stereo shop can check the signal at the amp and voltage.

I would get that checked out before trying repairing (getting repaired) or buy a used one. 2001 or 2002, the head unit got a slight upgrade, but cosmetically and fit wise it is the same as '99

Presets and tuning work fine. All functions of the LCD screen work. Just no sound. No sound regardless of source.

Have the audio level tested at the Amp near rear seat and trunk.

Check the amp. Sounds like it bad.

Head unit sounds fine, sounds like an amp issue.
