'08 C6 Vert, bose replacement amp turn on wire?
Hi folks:
I kept my factory Bose unit, tossed the bose amp/speakers and replaced them with separates, JL Audio stealth boxes and amps in the rear cubby. I took out the bose amp and put my crossovers in that spot.
I tapped the heated seats fuse for amp turn on, however that seems to be engine on only.
What's a better turn on for my amps so that they're on when accessory power is on?
I did a search and saw something about a white wire in the stereo harness, however that seems to be 12v constant on the pink plug that plugs into the bose amp...?
Thanks!!!!

Check out this post for links to the schematics and plug pinouts.
Look at pinout prints 5 and 6 for C1. The white wire at pin B3 of the main connector is definitely the one you need to use as the switched supply for all of you added on gear. It's labeled as "antenna enable signal" on the prints. On the amp side of the wire you're looking for pin A3 of C2.

This is the right page, B11 is white on my '08 on the pink Bose amp plug, which seems to map to this image.
This wire stays hot for a few minutes, then shuts off.
Thanks for the pointers, super helpful. Referenced the right image for future searches.
