K got this to work on a 02 Gs430 with ML/Nav but have some issues:
1.I have a Zune, same thing right?, and hhok it up via headphones to the rca jack but the signal goes goes in even on radio mode.
2. The CD Changer is bleeding into the Aux.
3. I think i have a ground issue b/c when i hit the gas it makes a winding sound.
4. The signal is not that loud i mean its good but i want it louder and advice.
Also i didnt see the trigger part of the tutorial so maybe i did sumtin wrong with that. But i thought it jsut common sense that triger one goes to neg and the other goes to pos.
Any help would be nice. Thank you.

post up which wires/colors/pins u cut (and where ur cutting) and il tell you what the problem is.
the grounding issue and SQ issue is related to cutting into the wrong wires.

01 GS3 w/o ML
only plug behind changer OR the only 8pin connector behind the amplifier, should be orange
R- =pin 6 white
L- =pin 7 Green
R+ =pin 1 Black
L+ =pin 2 Red
with ML is same colors/pins but the amp connector is the only 12pin instead of 8pin
nav/non nav doesnt matter.

Which cables would be the Sub output and would i be able to connect these to a high level input on another amp without frying the mark L amp? Does a separate amp power the stock sub? Or the other option I have is, which I would also need guidance in finding these, output of R+,R-,L+,L-. While doing this aux port might as well kill two birds with one stone and hook up a kicker cvr12 and a amp. Mark L sub picks up the higher tone bass very well, while the very low tones not so much. I think a 12" kicker and the mark L sub will work pretty nice together.
Thanks for the response isdjmark by the way. Found the amp ^_^

yep, similar to waht i used.
isdjdmark: the issues you described to me are consistent with what happened to me when i miswired the setup the very first time i installed it. BE 100% sure that you are reading the pins correctly on the harness you are cutting, the same/similar colors may be present more than once.

kk i'll order them today. how difficult is it to get to the back of a cd changer in the 2gs? figured I'll tap into the connection from there since I'm making the aux cable come out of the ashtray.
