Aftermarket HU to OEM Amp/Sub in 2006 Screw
I'm in the process of replacing the stock single CD non Audiophile HU in my 2006 Supercrew with a Pioneer aftermarket unit. I've only been able to locate, here and online, installations of Scabs or reg. cab trucks with the under dash amp/subs (using Metra 70-5521 adapters). My truck did not come equipped with an OEM amp/sub, but I found one locally, inexpensively. I come to find out, my truck does not have the hit or miss harness for the under rear seat amp, under the carpet.
I contacted Scosche directly to find a connector to match my OEM amp, and they suggested FD23FB as the required connector. Through days of searching here and elsewhere, I think I can use the red RCA jack on the HU, strip down an RCA plug and wire Pin 1 on the connector to the RCA positive and Pin 2 to the shielded wire from the RCA plug. I should also connect the blue/white system remote control wire, with a 1.5K resistor, to pin 4. Running a power and ground should complete the installation.
Can someone wiser than me verify this? Or point me in the direction I need to be heading. My head unit arrives today and the connector tomorrow. Thanx

Well Jr. do a little leg work yourself and you will find the answers you seek and then you can go bother someone else. If you would have got an aftermarket sub like I suggested instead of a **** poor factory sub that you are trying to jury rig then you wouldn't have your problem.
