I've looked all over for this but nothing concrete seems to come up for 2009 modelsI have a 2009 vibe with a stock radio, I will be installing an amp and a sub in the next couple of weeks. I wonder if the stock radio has the remote cable in the back to hook up to the amp. If it does, anyone know the color? just want to get ready for the install so suprises are to a minimum

on the 03-08 vibes the amp turn-on was wired together with the power antenna lead both being a black wire in the same terminal of the harness. For the 09's I don't see anything for the remote turn on, I see that the power lead for the antenna is Tan on the 09's. If the antenna lead is powered from the time the head unit is powered on this could also be the remote turn on source, you would have to probe around the factory amp to be positive. If the tan wire does not power on with the CD portion of the radio then it will not work as it would only see 12v with the AM/FM portion of the radio.Aron
