With the radio removed, you are looking for the harness that has Blue/White and White/Black wires in it. It’s the same harness that has the speed sense wire in it.(White/Green)

Already have your radio installed and don’t feel like taking the radio out? Drop the glovebox, look up and the white plug on the left will have the wires in there as well. Careful when dropping the glovebox, I’m pretty sure the bright yellow connector and wire are airbag wires.

Blue/White is Nav. Voice (+)
White/Black is Nav. Voice (-)

Strip both these wires and splice speaker wire to them. I think these wires are pre-amped and will have a low output but I haven’t gotten to that point to test them. The car has to go to the dealership to fix a U1000 code. As soon as it’s back, I’ll update the thread.

If it is a preamp signal, and since I already have a sub in the car, I will be using the stock amp(should be bypassed when you installed the aftermarket radio) to boost the signal to the speaker I will be installing in the stock sub location on the back deck. If it’s not, I should be able to run it straight to the speaker.

very nice, thanks for putting up info on these installs, since alot of cars nowadays have factory navi, or in general no dash kits readily available.

Yeah I figured that at least people can take a look at this or my other threads and get a general idea of what to look for or how to do it on their own car. :biggthumpup:
