Plug and play in the sense that you if:
- you do not have an aftermarket head unit with pre-amps, you can still splice the RCAs to your factory wiring harness (but i wouldn’t recommend that, as it would be better to get an aftermarket stereo wiring harness for your unit, they provide more standard color coded cables to splice to, then splice from the RCA to it)
- you do have an aftermarket head unit with pre-amps (this means you should already have an aftermarket stereo wiring harness), you can just connect the RCA cables (which are included) from your head unit to the amp

Once the audio wires are successfully routed from your head unit to the amp and then back to your harness, all you have to do is:
- splice the remote wire (blue) and power wire (yellow) to the stereo wiring harness
- splice the ground wire (black) to the stereo wiring harness or ground it to your chassis

This process may seem tedious and time consuming, but will save you $ and is also a good way to get into DIY car audio. There are plenty of walkthrough videos on YouTube that you can reference when performing this process, as it is pretty standard.

Lastly, if this sounds like it’s out of your comfort zone, Best Buy does provide geek squad installation services (which in my area cost around $130) but you may have to wait a while (sometimes up to a month as they get backed up with orders) in order for them to get to your install.

Hope this helps :)

Yeah I don't think this guy knows what he's doing. 
There are high level inputs you can use as the ""rca" plugs.
These use the speaker wires to get signal and the blue remote wire.
2nd hook it up to a fused battery cable. 
Your gonna really regret it if you don't. 
Blown fuses and poor connections....
