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?
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
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 am interested in this. I wonder if you enable the subwoofer option in forscan you will be able to adjust the sub setting in the stereo. 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.
Factory sub
