All you need to do is to find the switched 12 volt wire at the radio harness. Tie the turn on lead to this wire. Just a note,sometimes you will run into a "turn on thump"when the amp is hooked up this way. This happens because the amp powers up before the stereo signal gets to the amp. Thus creating a pop. Aftermarket head units are set up to delay the turning on of the amp until the signal is there. Good luck on the project. Brian

you could also try a remote amp turn-on by PAC (part #pactr4,I think!? ) which works with speaker signal from factory radio to activate, in turn supplies voltage for amp(s). could eliminate "pop". just a suggestion.
