Morning,

I am looking for a full (or as full) details of the radio wiring. I have a 2005 Durango Limited, RAQ Radio with Factory Siruius and VES. I have yet to find any posts that specifically has my wiring. I need to tap into the SAT radio and add on an aftermarket amp to the factory sub (Replaced of course).

Any insight appreaciated.

John

Metra Electronics Corp. - CHRY-AMP-01

Product Instructions >>

Description

Add an Amp Interface for Chrysler Digital systems

Product Specifications

Selectable Front, Rear or non-fading output
Provides 12vdc amp turn on voltage
USB updateable with USB-CAB

The CHRY-AMP-01 allows users to add a 2-channel amp to Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge vehicles with the digital amplified sytem. These vehicles have a fixed digital signal going to the OEM amplifier which makes it impossible to add a line output convertor. The CHRY-AMP-01 converts this digital signal to a 2-channel output.

tommy...

Thanks for the info,does this bypass the factory amp or connect to the factory amp allowing for an additional amp? My goal is to leave the factory infinity system as is and simply add an additional amp to power a JL sub that I replaced with the factory.

The odd thing is that the back of the radio has a bank of wire that goes to the sirius and VES, I would really like to tap into the VES aux or Siruis for my iPod and iPhone rather than thos clunky 200.00 adapters. I have a sweet charger setup with a dock that I love that has an aux line out, but 06 was the 1st year they offerred the aux in through the radio for Chrysler.

Thoughts?

It is to add an amp...All factory interior speakers shouldnt be affected...Just adds an output for an amp...being a hi/lo,LOC will not work in your situation...As far as where to tag/tap for aux...The only way i know is the aux in's you referred to...Although where was it $200.00...? Just a quick search...$55...

Just use a LOC and grab it at a rear speaker, not the deck. Or anywhere AFTER the amp.
