Hello guys.. I want to make it clear first...

I AM NOT mgood at electrical......

That being said, I have a question. I bought a Pioneer AVH3300BT double Din aftermarket stereo for my Monte.... I also bought a parking brake bypass and a small amp for my subs, just for a little added bass. I had the stereo installed by best buy (my son works there and he got a deal on the install) now I want to hook up the amp and the bypass switch. The bypass switch has 3 wires on it, a blue, Green and a black. Do I have to "Unhook" the wires that are currently connected to the parking brake switch ( that was done during the install) and wire the stereo wires to the bypass switch instead of the parking brake ? If so, what wire goes where from the head unit? The bypass is for a rear view camera that I'm installing.

Next, the amp is just a lil one, a MTX Rt202. I bought it from another member on the Monte Forum. I pretty much know how this is wired, but want to make sure that I'm doing it correctly. It has a terminal for the "remote on". Do I hook up the Blue/White wire from the head unit to this ? What gauge does it need to be to be safe ?( again, it's just a little amp ) then just hook up the positive/negative wires? What gauge should they be for a small amp?

I thank you in advance for any help I can get...

 

The parking brake wire needs to be routed through the relay so it grounds after the unit powers on. The video below is for a different model but explains how to install the relay. The remote on for the amp can be powered from the same wire as the relay for the parking brake.
