Subject: Is the DSP amp 100% removed and disconnected from the car? Author: Brian (moderator) : member since January, 2005 : 6705 posts Posted on: 2008-07-23 07:31:56

If the DSP amp is connected to power, ground, and I-Bus (even if the speakers and inputs are not wired) the radio will change its behavior. So, you need to totally remove the DSP amp from the car.
