Ya I was trying to hook up a new h.u., but at the customers request I ordered a new factory plug for the car and the metra 70-1787 harness to interface with bose amp. Is there another way to tie into the factory amp?

yeah you cut a 3ft rca in half and solder in front and rear rca"s. look in the trunk right above the right rear wheel for the amp and you can see what are the pre-amp positives

Eggs are good, I don't think I could eat 50 though. I was thinking last night,I wonder if you could attach those rcas right up front in the lower plug. I powered up the amp and used a low volt battery to pulse the wires and I got all of them to pulse off that plug. I was thinking maybe a guy could solder the rcas in there and plugem in? When the car comes back I may test this theory and I'll post it if it works. Not one other shop stock the metera harness for that car in my location.

allrighty then!! start thinking differantly. every shop in your town will tell this guy he has to replace his amp and speakers and do a complete rewire. power up the amp by the white wire in the oe harness. you can then power up your aftermarket radio. plug in a cut and stripped rca wire in and start probing the small gage pre-amp wires. i remember that the ground for the pre-amp was a single brown small gage wire.
