Aftermarket stereo and the Infinity system...

#22
i have mine running through the factory amp. when you wire up the new radio you need to connect the amp turn on/ power ant wire( usally blue or blue/white) to the infinity anp turn on wire. im not sure what color off hand, but this has been dicussed on here before. do a search in the forum.
I have the extra wire on my 2000 dodge grand caravan w/ infinity like in this video
can you just cut the connector and ire to the blue wire on the head unit?
this guy says it might blow the computer but i don't want to go to this much trouble

Relay location?
I have been reading a bunch about this infinity system. Basically I think my amp is not turning on. The radio functions but no sound. I saw that there is a wire that comes from the head to the computer (ridiculous) that then let’s the computer send I signal to a relay that then turns in the amp. I think that’s right.
Where is the relay in the 2001 Dakota? I’m not sure if it’s a bad relay , the amp is toast, or there is something wrong with the head unit. I have had battery issues and replaced the battery and had to jump start it. I actually suspected this amp issue may have killed my battery.
I have tried all the fuse pulls to reset the radio with no luck. I want to check the relay before I go further. The radio will make this very low level ticking sound which I’m guessing is the amp trying to turn on. Very faint
Any help would be great.

So i have a 95 avenger. With the infinity system. When i bought the car it had no stereo but came with the adaptors(wiring harnesses) so i plug mine in. As normal. And i get sound from rear speakers only and its very quiet. (I can turn my stereo up to 60 and it sounds as if it were only at maybe 10..) But if i disconect the power ant wire from the main power and hook it to the blue white pre amp from my head unit. I get nothing.. and comment? Maybe im doing something wrong?
