no no my way bypasses the oem so he dont have to worry about it, regualr oems and cd players have 1 volt less signal to the amp, check ur amp and ur voltage on the REM. will be 1 volt lower than ur power wire. so if u run a small 14 gauge wire or so from the battery, to the toggle, then to the remote on amp it will raise up one volt and give you a little more signal. its an spl trick i learned. helps on numbers but is another way of doing the remote wire if ur in a sticky situation
