Exclamation Aftermarket Radio OEM Fiber amp won't turn on

Hi
Anyone would know how to get the OEM fiber optic amp to turn on with wiring
I have the aftermarket radio working fine
fiber optic decoder is on and red fiber blinking
but from the OEM orange fiber no light at all when I turn the key

any experience here ?

amp works
I tested it with the old command
and it doesn't require that plug

problem is the dam fiber optic decoder
my plug doesn't fit
even oem fiber doesn't fit in the holes

So, you are doing away with the FO. All connections are in the boot so you will have to run cable from the HU to the boot to connect the amp etc. This is my write up|:
