I'm in the process of puting my Pioneer In Dash cd/dvd Player in my car. I have the whole cd player and so on pulled out and need some help. I bought the harness that plugs into 1 of the 2 harnesses that controls all of the power and it also has a set of RCA preouts for the amps to get sound. My question is this - what is the other harness for that has just 2 wires on it and why am I not getting any sound with the new cd player? Please help asap.
By the way this is for my new 01 IS300, not the SC300.

Unless you have some special harness I do not know about, you have to do a complete amp bypass. The factory amp relies on the factory head unit to control the volume. Unlike a normal amp, this one will not adjust itself based on the input voltage of the RCA's or low level in. Volume is controlled by a special wire that links the factory head and amp in a handshake between the two.
You did not specify is you were using aftermarket amps.
