    Help with head unit on 2010 MGM

    Hi all -- I'm having some trouble installing a new head unit. On my previous model (2000), there was one set of cables to connect to the wiring harness. On the 2010 model, there are two. The corresponding harness to the second, smaller set leads to two blue wires for an amp, and a set of RCAs. The corresponding set that came with the headunit leads to three RCAs: front, back, and sub. What does that smaller set control? Does the 2010 have a stock amp?

    Really appreciate your help!

    What's on the back of the stock radio?
    I doubt they still had subs in 2010 but it's easy to find out, it's on the drivers side of the trunk under the package shelf.

      Here's a pic from the ol' internet. I'm using the port on our right, and the port in question is on the far left (not the antenna). There's no sub but I'm struggling to figure out what that 8pin connector was for, because it is definitely wired.

        I don't know if they still had an external cd changer option at that time.

          So then why would it be wired? Are you saying it's for convenience's sake, should the previous owner opted for a CD changer?

          I don't see a corresponding end in the trunk, though it could be hidden.

            If it is there it would be in the left quarter.
