Answer 1

The amp needs a turn on voltage from the radio and is supplied through the power harness to the factory radio. Your new radio should have an amp turn on wire, usually blue with white stripe, which needs to be connected to the factory harness. Wire colors are not given, but you can locate the turn on wire from the diagran here.
