I decided to install an aftermarket Audio Art amp to my stock radio system
(Not a Bose system).I cannot find a 12v ignition wire to connect my remote wire from the amp.I tried all the fuses on the fuse block but no luck.I tried looking around to see if i had a Factory Amp so i can piggy back from it, but couldn't find it.Please help!

Look under the dash to the left of the brake pedal, there is a black cover over a harness block. Remove the cover and plug the wire you are trying to get power to to the pin all the way down in the lower right corner of the block. It will also only come on with the ignition being on.

That is good to know, I have never wired an amp that way. I have always run the 12v wire to the remote wire in the back of my head-unit and spliced the two of them together. This has the same affect as running it directly to the ignition block, but not as clean.
