Didn't I read something here a few months ago relating to the infinity
system and how you have to wire around the factory amp. I know I had to do
this in my Moms Lincoln. I tired to use the factory plug and play connectors
and yet I got no sound from the speakers but when I wired around the factory
amp I had sound. So question is do you have the infinity sound system
because I know there is a amp somewhere don't remember where.
