i dont think your factory radio has holes for rca jacks but you can get some wires that tap into them and have rca plugs on the other end

you can run your remote wire into the power wire for your radio but your amp will stay on all the time. or if you have a power antina you can run your remote wire in to that wire and it will work like normal
