Ty89m · 08-08-2013, 02:13 AM

So I'm doing the first step of my stereo install this weekend, and am wondering if there's any drawbacks to using the factory amps remote turn on wire to tap into for the amp turn on wire? Would be one less wire to run from the head unit.

Also, is there any way to avoid resetting the ECU when disconnecting the battery for electrical work? I'm getting a bit tired of having to let the ECU re-learn things and having the car be so sluggish.... I'm guessing there's not much that can be done to avoid this, but worth a shot anyway. Thanks!
