Amplifier Location
Open glove box and release to full down position. The amplifier is located behind the glove box. The amplifier is mounted to a bracket. At the top of the amplifier is s spring clip that holds the amplifier to the bracket. A flat head screw driver can release the spring clip. The amplifier can be released from the bracket. However, we were unable to twist, turn or move the amplifier into a position to be removed from the dash. Our best guess, dash removal to remove the amplifier.
Aftermarket stereo installation?
Why purchase the aftermarket wire harness? Installation is easier, no guess work with wire color codes and a Headache Saver!Factory wire colors codes are not universal. See Aftermarket Videos above.
We discourage cutting the factory wire harness.
This section aids in troubleshooting and determining wire color codes, phasing for speaker hook up, locating power wires for installing external devices and add-ons.

brown wires in this harness. Locate the +12 volt constant wire first.
Label it or splice to constant wire on aftermarket stereo first. Swapping
yellow wires will cause damage to any aftermarket stereo. Check fuses if your unable to find +12 volts.
