Default amp install....

thought i was gonna get lucky and be able to pull it off thru info on this site and on the internet.... luck wasnt on my side... i think the only way to get it done, is to have to remove the head unit to gain accesss to the remote terminal.. thought i could find a wire in the rear or passenger side door that would provide power only when car is on... back to the drawing board...

in one picture shows the location of it pointing to the trunk release to show where it is.and the other picture it is in the bundle of wires connecting to that box,it is the only white one no stripes just white.that is the one i had it running off of.hopefully the did not change it too much for the 2010.

If you have an aftermarket head unit just get it from the back of the radio, since you will have to run RCA's anyways. If not I'm sure there are some switched power sources around the sjb. I can't remember from when I put in my alarm since it was years ago. Good luck. What amp and speakers are you installing?

I'd guess you'd like this to function with the delayed accessory line, the same as the radio, yes?

If so...It's F43, F45, or a few others in the SJB(F47, or F41 for other examples). Just buy a $2 fuse tap, run the line, done.
