What you need to do is unplug both of the factory pluggins from the factory systems, one you will not use at all any more, at least i didnt the other one gets plugged into the socgm then what i did is i used the harness that comes with the head unit and i soldered those pre-stripped cables to the ones coming from the socgm (these are the speaker cables, green, green/black etc. and the other factory plug in that is left over is not going to be used, i hope this helps
