I'm assuming your wanting to install an aftermarket radio system. If this is the case see below.
It is fully integrated into the audio amplifier unit. To completely disable or bypass the ANC system you'll need to access the factory amplifier located in the trunk.
1. Remove the spare tire cover panel to expose the audio amplifier mounted on the driver's side or forward trunk wall area. If I am wrong let me know.
2. The factory amplifier (it's likely labeled Pioneer) should be visible. You should see multiple a multi-pin wiring harnesses plugged into it (typically a 20-pin and a 14-pin connector).
3. Because the ANC runs through the amplifier connections, either unplug the specific pins responsible for the ANC microphone inputs or use a specialized line output converter/bypass method.
Alternatively, you can disconnect the headliner microphones. This is the preferred non-invasive shortcut used by most technicians to bypass ANC without cutting amplifier wires.
They are directly at the headliner (front map light console and rear dome light assembly).

Locate the 14-pin connector on the amplifier. Locate the Yellow/Black and Light Green/Red wires if you are tapping the factory sub-line for a Line Output Converter.
