Wiring is not a concern to me. That is, for me, a piece of cake. Everything I have read suggests the wires that come with it are too short so I expect to need to extend those.

I am in the process of getting the harness from DC for a camera and the eventual amp install. I'll probably wait until I have good weather and do it all at once though.

wires are plenty long, i should have actually cut off 6" on both sides, but I'm just stuffing them under the radio/behind the HVAC controls. I made a bracket, zip tied it to the metal supports, and zip tied the amp to it. it is a perfect fit

yes, i just tapped into the power/ground/remote lead for the power/turn on signal for the amp. I didn't use the antenna power because that is only active with the radio mode. top of my head, i don't remember what i used for the remote. SVXd told me what to use, i might still have the email.
