Factory sub

Ok I've been looking at threads on this and can't find a straight answer. Can I plug a factory sub into my xlt I have the nav and all that I do not have the Sony radio. Is there a plug I can look for behind the seat? Is there a factory sub option that is not Sony?

Many thanks y'all!

with the 1212 harness facing away and wires facing toward you it's this...top is where the clip is that secures it to the harness.

Top left black is positive. Orange red on the factory side

Top far right is ground or negative. Black violet on the factory side.

Bottom left is remote turn on. Brown on factory side.

Bottom 2nd to left is line level + violet on the factory side

Bottom 3rd to the right is line level - green on factory side

All other wires are not used. Tape them off.

Yes there is a factory kicker option. Not sure if trucks are prewired for it

There is a plug hidden behind the trim for the left rear seat belt. I'm hoping this is for the sub so I don't have to tap the rear speakers. From the wiring diagram I have seen it looks like there should be a sub signal and amp turn on there. But this has different colors so not sure yet.

For trucks with Sony, the truck has a sub channel output plug behind the drivers side rear seat, for trucks without Sony, there is no sub output. You need a line-out converter or dsp.

After looking at the wiring diagram again the violet is sub + and green is sub - . Brown is enable /clip detect.

I have a non Sony without a sub

If I have time tonight I will see if I turn on the sub in forscan if the enable will turn on

Without Sony, there is no amp to push the sub.

You do realize you can get a factory sub / amp on a non sony right?
Yup that's why I want the signal so I can add one without tapping the rear speaker wires.

The big brown/red wire is a 20amp but too small for anything really

I have never messed with a Sony system but I assume you should be able to. I am currently running my amp signal thru my rear speakers and would love to be able to tap into a dedicated sub signal.
