Default Infinity Amp Removal ??

Might be a dumb question but, Does anybody know if removing the OEM Infinty Amp from under the Wheel causes any issues with the Can-Bus System? i read somewhere it stores info, power or something like that, but i maybe wrong ..

It shouldn't, the CAN system is relegated to the essential functions of the vehicle (lights, engine, transmission, brake, window, and lock controls). Removing the amp should be no different than disconnecting a speaker (it would just be like removing all of the speakers) which the CAN system never sees.

I removed the amp, replaced the entire stereo using NO "adapters". Lost no CANBUS functionality other than the dimming function on the radio, which i have to do manually.

Just FYI!
