link works for me. Thx for the info, finished my install earlier today.

edit: the wires for the front right speaker is on the last harness from the front of the car ( non ML btw). White (+) and Red (-). Hope this helps.

any car audio guys please.. i'm still searing for over an hour. everyoen says it's the orange wire farthest to the back.. which is the connector for the front speakers... tried that, didn't work. then i read it was the thin orang wire the farthest one away from the connector(3rd connector) and that didn't even give me any audio and still didn't power my amp. INPUT PLEASEE

I wish I could help, if anything just tap your cigarette lighter. It's not that hard.

i actually found it guys. thanks for the help though. no need to run a wire to the front and tap the cig lighter. you can get power from the stock amp with the thinest orange wire on the third connector for non ml owners

that's veryy far lol too lazy to do such wiring. it took me an hour just to run that stupid power wire from the battery to the back.. piercing it through the grommet was no joke. lol hopefully finish installing everything tomorrow then i gotta make a custom platform for my aamp to sit on

To clarify the remote wire for non ml owners is the thinest orange wire on the third connector. The farthest thin orange wire
