May not be necessary to run a wire from pin 13 of the radio.
I've traced it a couple of times, and it looks like Pin 13 from the radio goes ends up at Pin 10 of the amplifier. Again, I'll have to get a multimeter out to verify; but if that's the case... it completes the requirements to put a differrent amp in place of the HiFi. Biggest question at that point would be: What's the effect of not having a component in the CAN bus? It looks like it runs in parallel, but I don't know if the system will be "looking" for the amp.

What's confusing me is that "The amplifier has a separate power supply. The amplifier is switched on by the RAD_ON signal from the ASK (> 8 V = ON / < 6 V = OFF)."
