When installed at the factory the brown wire was clipped onto the back of the radio and I assume that would mean it was grounded thus completing a circuit and satisfying the alarm brain that everything is ok. You are telling me to wrap the wire in electrical tape so it doesnt ground.........wouldnt that be leaving an open circuit? Just trying to learn
Thanks
If i remember correctly you are correct the factory radio when installed presses against the bracket completing the alarm circuit. But it doesn't function properly with an aftermarket radio. If you go to cai website it explains why. But if you disconnect it without wrapping it with it flopping around it causes alarm issues.
