sub install

[saab talladega turbo]

Ok so I'm gonna be fitting the sub and amp in my 08 soft top soon. The only thing I'm unsure of its where to take the amp remote from. I only want it on when the nav radio is on. The guy at saab (vauxhall) said take it off the leccy aerial wire but alas no leccy aerial. I don't have keys to get the sat nav out so don't know if there's a wire for that. Any info on the nav would be good especially on removal. Thanx.

Obtain the keys to get the head unit out. Check out the interweb, the trim tools are easy to get.

Almost all amps are electrically switched these days.  The "aerial" wire is more commonly called the trigger wire.  It's the same thing.  On both of our Saabs it is a grey wire. I used it to trigger the map and power the amplified aerial ( not a motorised one)

Pin 16 off the rear amp.  Grey/White wire.

The amp behind the black plastic flap on the left in the boot?

Possibly.  I'm not familiar with the convertible and the amps are often in different places from the saloon.  In the saloon, the amp is behind the LH wheel arch.. The trim panel pulls down.  Also gives access to the Rear Electrical Centre.
