Ok, so after trying to install the Pioneer DEH-1300MP HU that I had in storage and finding out it was fried, I purchased a new Sony HU from BB. I also have the Scosche 2-part harness that I bought from BB as well. I will be using the Scosche install kit that has a pocket below the HU. My question is, do I need to unplug or bypass the factory amp? If so, how do I go about doing this? I have used the search function as well as the FAQ section but have been unable to find the info I am looking for thus far. Any help is very greatly appreciated. I just want some tunes. Is this too much to ask? HELP!!!!
Just bought a Sony CDX-GT710HD HU....Have a few install questions......Help!!

I'm pretty sure by using the gray harnesses you bypass the factory amp anyways... I still unplugged mine it's behind the tweeter in the dash on the passenger side

SWEET!!!! I just got done installing everything (literally, just finished like 5 minutes ago). I also installed a Scosche black stubby antenna as the old power ant was broken badly and I prefer a short antenna anyway. WOW the sound is really good, and once I install the new speakers (either Infinity, JBL etc) I figure it will sound awesome!!! Thanks to all who helped and gave advice. Now time to go wheel with some jams.
I believe you loose the rears. But yes the grey connectors are in there by design for this purpose.
you don't lose anything but the amp
