Check the pink wire with a dmm. I think the pink wire is the one you are looking for.

I think so too, On my girlfriends cavalier I just ran a wire from the fuse box (to a fused 12v switch) to the amp, and it works great.

If your factory system has an amp the turn on wire will be in cavity B3 (Pink wire). If it doesn't you can insert a wire and pin in the plug to get it to work.
