The dreaded battery drain.

The dreaded battery drain.
I have a 2003 with a after market radio. I have read up on the treads and they all point towards the radio as the culprit. I put my amp meter in between the neg post and cable. 1.02 amps. I pulled the fuse for the radio and it dropped to .02 So I pulled the radio out completely and checked again and its back to 1.02 or so. I plugged the radio back in and now its close to 2 amps. This thing is messing with my little brain...

I am having that same problem with my 2005 G. I think the Bose amp is the issue. I am also getting static in the stereo. If I change out to a dual din new receiver do I need to purchase a new amp as well?? Any tips as I am not done anything special to mine. I bought this my G brand new in 05 and have 165K on it

Did you use a wire harness to the aftermarket deck or splice into the infiniti one?
I ask, as the remote wire to tell the amp to power on, may be connected to the 12v constant, instead of the blue 12v remote - this would leave your amp in an always on mode.
In the trunk under the rear deck to the left of the bose sub, is the amp (i think its a single amp for the system). I believe you can unplug it there, leaving the radio fuse intact and meter the battery again.
