Answer
Hi Stephen,

I'm not sure what you mean by AC.  Do you mean RCAs?

Basically, you have to make sure you have the right harness for your system.  It's specific to the Infinity systems.  The harness looks like this:

Then you plug the harness into the DIN from the car, and plug the RCAs into the deck's outputs.  If the deck only has two plugs out, then you'll need to put a splitter on it, and connect them that way, but be warned: you'll lose your fader.

Your alternate choice is to buy a high level to low level output adapter, and use it, which will keep your fader.
