On my 99 GS400, I have Navi and want to keep teh stock head unit, at least for now. I already have the hi/low RCA convertor and will be running the wiring shortly. What I can't find is where to get a signal for remote to turn on the amps. I have searched and found it for the power antenna on SC400's but not on GS400. I did see somebody post something about another piece to get to send a signal to the amp, but then I also found a post of another GS that was able to do it without that 'box'... Can somebody help me find the signal wire to get my amp to turn on?

Thanks...

 

This is on a GS400. Anybody give me a direction to look into?

you can use ignition to turn on the amp too.

 

also to one of your fuse under the driver side.........

 

I used a PAC Trunk-LOC.. its a line output converter that also connects to power and ground and provides a 5V turn on for your amps. It taps into one speaker wire, to get a signal, and uses that to turn on and off your amps.. Its pretty awesome. Also has RCA's and stuff too just like any regular line output converter..
