Help request with Amp install.

I have the factory installed amp exposed. I am trying to connect an MTX T3401 using the supplied RCA connectors. The problem is that I can't find on any of the harnesses connected to the factory amp the wires I need. I have the pdf from this link : http://n8zcc.com/pics/HHR/Audio_Connectors.pdf I can't figure out what wire to use for the remote on. The diagram says pink at PIN 8 on C3, there is no pink wire there. I think I understand where to put the RCA wires according to the diagram: Pins 1-4 on C1, they state output on the diagram so I think those are what I should splice into. Please help if you can, I'd like to get this done today and these are basically the final steps. Thanks alot in advance!

Matthew

EDIT: I figured out where the wires for the speaker RCA's go, still wondering where that elusive pink wire is hiding. :)

I just finished installing my amp today. I have the factory pioneer system.

The pink wire on the connector C3 is the remote wire. It is in the #8 position; right above the green wire. It doesn't look pink at first, but it is indeed pink.

I recommend using the low-level audio signals from the C3 connector with your RCA wires for your amp.

If your amp takes hi-level audio signals, and you connected your RCA wires to it, most likely you won't need to connect the remote wire since your amp will sense the hi-level audio signals and turn on automatically.

what if you don't have the pioneer system? Is it still the pink one for the AAC?
