Trying to integrate the amp without a wiring harness. I have the 22 pin all connected but the problem is where do all the wires go for the satellite/amp. Since there is a WHITE/ violet in from the 22 but nothing connected to that pin, we connected it directly to the amp WHITE/ purple. blk/tan is to black. gray/yel is to yel. org/tan is to org. GREEN/ gray is to red. That leaves me with the audio out mux for L, R, and Center out. Where do these three connect? Since there is only 2 channels for audio, we connected LF+ and LR+ to L+, LF- and LR- to L-, then same for R side. Also there is gray/org that connects with blue/white on the harness labeled as amp remote. I am guessing that this needs acc pwr rather than constant. Can someone please point me in the right direction. I have the full wiring chart for pac downloaded to refer to. If we have to bypass the amp we can but we'd rather use it.

That amplifier turns on via data. If you do not want to purchase the appropriate harness you will have to bypass the amplifier. Do not know how much time you have or how much your time is worth, but the harness will be a much wiser choice.

Yeah, using a harness usually is but we can't afford to drop more money into this fix. I'm going to try bypassing and hopefully that will do the trick. Thanks for the reply.

Found instructions to bypass amp but now I have no power going to the radio. I checked both inline fuses and they look good and the radio fuse under the hood looks good. I ran new wire for the 4 door speakers from the radio harness to the wires in the right rear side cubby. According to the Pacifica diagram (2004-2006), the RED / org is fused+ and connected to yellow, the pnk/org is acc and connected to red, black ground connected to blk/grn, and that leaves a solid blue on radio labeled remote amp, and 3 wires on car harness labeled pci bus (wht/vil), antenna (gry/org), and panel lamps driver(org/gry) (oh and grays and purples for L & R audio).

The only thing left on the bypass instructions says "if power is supplied through antenna, connect solid blue antenna to solid red ignition. Otherwise connect blue/white amp turn on to solid red ignition." I tried each way and still have no power to radio.

Help would be greatly appreciated as I have never run into bypassing an amp like this. Thanks.
