I was having a hard time getting the right wiring harness for my new head unit because the factory CD player had an "odd" connector that I couldn't get a match to. Ended up going to Best Buy after trying 2 WalMarts, and they had a wiring harness for the "Premium" Contour audio that had the right connectors. I didn't think that I had anything premium, and the speaker covers on the doors don't say Premium or anything. Heck, I think that the factory stuff sounds pretty bad, thus the upgrade, but that is a different story...
So sure enough, in the Best Buy parking lot, I drop the glove box, and there is the factory amp.
So I want to bi-pass the factory amp when I put in the new head unit, right? That's what I've been reading, but why not keep it? If I need to bi-pass it, I'll need to run to get an amp bi-pass cable.
Just let me know why I want to bi-pass it, and I'm game. I just don't want to do something that I don't need to if I don't have to. Besides, I want to get my new head unit installed, and not run across town to Best Buy again.
