Lol, yes, I know what an AUX is. My Pioneer has 2

I didn't think there was any auxilary in the stock system. Maybe something with the add-in CD player and/or CD changer, but I wouldn't bother.

Yea maybe, how is your amp set up? Cause right now mine is always on so I installed a switch but if I found the acces for the radio it would just turn on and off by itself

Wait a sec here.. are you looking for the accessory power? AKA switched? LOL

Get a $5.00 volt meter and check your power w/ car off and then in the on position. It sould be one of the 2 power wires going to the deck already. If I can recall... there should be a red (constant and fused) and yellow (switched) power to the harness. But I don't believe you need either of these for the amp. The amp should be direct wired to batt and gnd (aside from an inline fuse and maybe a cap) The amp should be wired to the deck using (Again if I can remember.. been a few years) the rca style pre-outs and I believe a blue(?) signal wire. I could be mistaken.. blue may also be dimmer off many harnesses. - which you don't need.

It's been many years since I put my amp in.. so I could be a little off.

yea i know the blue wire is the one that turns the amp on and off with the car but i cant figure it out

Blue with a white stripe actually. Dimmer is just pure blue, IIRC
