Stereo Remote Wire

I emailed my buddy that works at Crutchfield for his input. You may be able to find some help here too.

Ok, here is my buddy's answer...word for word...

"There is an 8-pin plug on the back of the radio and it
contains a light green wire with a purple stripe. That
is the amp remote lead. The only problem is that it
may output just 5 volts (instead of the 12 that is
required for an aftermarket amp turn-on). Ford has
been doing this for some time. If it does not work, he
will have to go to an alternate ACC 12 volt source or
add a toggle switch to activate the amp."

Good luck. Hope this helps you.

When i had amps on my stock stereo, i just grabbed power off the switched 12V on the stereo, but you might need a turn on delay relay, if it "thumps" when you turn the car on.
