You have to take the stereo out in order to plug them in. If you have the stock HU you will have to use a line out convertor and tap into the speaker wires to create RCA outputs for the amp. Then you tap into the ignition wire for the remote. If you have an AM HU then it will already have the RCA jacks and the harness will already have the wire for the remote.

very easy to remove h/u do a search, but basically you pop off trim panel by hand and remove 4 screws
