When you wire the radio, you are going to wire the radio just as you would for a standard radio that would be in this vehicle, but you are going to make one minor change to the new radios ground wire. The new radios ground wire is going to be plugged into the plastic connector that had originally been plugged into the rear of the Infinity radio. This connector is a ground wire to an “Infinity” amplifier which is located away from the radio. When you plug the new radios ground wire into this ground wire for the “Infinity” amplifier, the “Infinity” amplifier will turn on and power the speakers inside the vehicle.
