My 2006 Navigator has the factory THX navigation system and I can't find any info on how to turn on the factory amp other than it cant be done with a 12V remote wire.   I've reviewed the wiring diagrams (factory manuals) and the only 2 pins which are connected in the amp but which don't receive audio signals or output to the speakers are in connector C2291a.  Pin 9 is GY/BK "Clip Detect" and Pin 22 is DG/VT "Enable/Clip detect" and they must be involved in turn on/off in some way, but can't find any detail.  The only relevant pinpoint test is used if there is a loud popping when cycling the ignition switch.  It says to turn ignition on and head-unit off and look for a voltage on pin 22 - any voltage there idicates a bad circuit in need of repair - No voltage there means the amp needs to be removed and sent to repair facility.  

 I understand that later 2007+ THX amps are turned on with CAN signals which you can get from AFDI-THX-01, and I've read some earlier amps are turned on with a 5V signal you can get from AFDI-5V.  Does anyone know for sure how to turn on/off the THX amp is turned on/off?  I'd like to know the best approach before I take it apart.   If I don't get an answer I suppose I can test for 5V once I have it apart.

Thanks.   No indication of voltage on that pin.   Is it 5V?

Job done. For the benefit of others. The THX amplifier in the 06 Navigator is turned on with a 5V signal so you'll need the AFDI-5V.
