3 years ago crutchfield set me up with a great double din head unit and wiring harness - plug and play install, worked flawlessly.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 years ago crutchfield set me up with a great double din head unit and wiring harness - plug and play install, worked flawlessly.
Now, as per my usual MO, I'm bored with it and am going to delete the head unit altogether. I know this sounds ridiculous, but its another step in making my car more "driving focused".
So, I've got an 8 channel amp that has a Bluetooth receiver built in, so I can connect phone directly to the amp. No head unit needed, voila. And I've located wiring diagram from amp harness to speakers, so no issues though.
Looking at these diagrams though I couldn't help but notice the thing I circled in red in the below pic - does anyone know what this is? At first glance it looks like removing the head unit wiring will trip the immobilizer. That seems like a weird security feature, but I suppose not completely crazy. I imagine if that's the case I will have to leave the stock wiring in place? Ideally I want to remove it since it's a rats nest, but I would like for the girl to start up once I'm done with this.
Best,
Ike

It's a trigger for the car to know if the radio is there or not. It will be a female spade connector on the left hand side of the radio that connects to the frame. Doesn't do anything other then setting a code in the alarm module. When doing an aftermarket it is just left disconnected, but it could be wired to ground depending on who did the install. Again, it only sets a code in the alarm module which you can only see with durametric or porsche scanners.
basically...you can ignore it.
Thanks for the reply stl. I was worried because I have already found one wiring surprise in this car - a wire with is own fuse - almost like an add-a-fuse - coming from the telephone fuse (e6 if I remember if the top of my head) that runs over to and terminated on the center console carpeted trim piece. Disconnect that wire from the dust box and the car won't even turn over. Freaked me out the first time it happened. What's really wired about it is that panel is made of plastic and carpet, so I don't even understand how exactly it grounds. I was worried that radio switch may play into that wire somehow. I'll have to take a pic and pay it on here to see if anyone else's is sweet up this way.
Anyway, thanks again for the reply!
