No, the OEM amp works on a 5V turn on signal..... the aftermarket radio sends 12V, causing it to pop..... it will damage the amp, you need to install a no pop resister...….

This reply keeps being erased before I can post! not good! Anyway sorry for the slow response, life‘s been about crazy lately. If your still playing with the factory amp behind the rear seat, here is what I did today. On my 02 and 05 ST, on the fuse panel it has a dedicated rear amp on the 05 its fuse 04, on the 02 it’s 13. Fuse 13 was empty, but the power side was factory hooked up…so I just plugged the power wire from the rear amp directly to this fuse and cut and pasted my old pin into the empty side of fuse 13. Then installed the “recommended” 15 Amp fuse to the empty slot. Haven’t checked it yet but it should work. I plan to try it tomorrow before finishing the hookup of the rear backup camera. I’ll let you know how it goes.

your chart looks different from the 2002! (I ran into 3 different ones claiming to be for my 02, luckily I found the manual that came with my ST). Look on the back of the fuse box and see if (Re-Edit from previous post), fuse 04 (Top Right), is empty and has a thick brown wire connected to one side of that fuse. If it is like this, it might be like the 02? That's where the amp was hooked with a 15Amp fuse.
