The factory amplifier remote on must be connected to power when the radio is on as this same wire also powers the factory antenna.

Usually the new radio has a remote on lead (blue) that shoudl connect to this. In my car the wire in the dash behind the radio that does this is white with a pink or red line... yours might be different as it is newer. Consult a wiring diagram for your model to know.

If your factory amp is coming on this should be operational. I think the antenna can be accessed if you remove the rear coiurtesy lights nick

The antenna module is on the drivers side behind the rear pillar.
