Built in amp on the deck turned off?

If your truck has the infinity stereo systems then there needs to be a "turn on" wire going to that amp to turn it on. I am not sure if the harness has a wire for that or not.

My truck has the infinity but the previous owner already had an aftermarket deck in there so, I had no problems with a new deck.

Use the power antena line for the amp turn on.

Make sure you have all the colors matched up properly between the deck harness and adapter harness, and make sure your connections are good.

I am not sure about Dodge's but won't that only turn the amp on if the radio mode is turned on?

I put a Pioneer Super Tuner III in my R/T and it fired right up without even using the blue wire. <shrug> go figure. It was a Crutchfield install kit though.

My truck had an aftermarket deck, so I never messed with the wire kit when I installed my deck.

I know with other vehicles that the antenna up wire would only turn on the amp when it was in radio mode but turn it off when it went to CD mode. I only have a hand full of vehicles that I have messed with under my belt, so I dunno.

All else fails, :rtfm:!!! lol...I have always wanted to use that!

You probably have the infinity system. Hook up the blue or blue and white wire off the radio to the blue wire on the harnes that hooks up to the factory one.
