chances are you'll have to use a line out converter for the amplifier.

You will need a rear output converter, it taps into the wires for the rear speakers.
Easiest way to do that is keep it in the trunk and use a three foot RCA cable.
Ground can be had anywhere on the chassis, just make sure you thoroughly clean the paint off before you make a ground. Seat belt bolts work great too.
Remote comes from any ignition source such as cigarette lighter (make sure it's on ignition though), fuse panel (wiper fuse, ignition module fuse, ect).

its pretty much just there to screw over high end car people. like bmw has a lot of car controls integrated into the stock satnav so to change it out would fuck you over hard lol.
