Re: remote turn on wire

Wire it to ignition. The amp will turn on/off with the car.

EDIT: Yellow wire on the factory harness. Red wire in the aftermarket harness(es).

It's not. I don't know where you tapped in, but test for voltage before you tap. Then again after you tap. Maybe try with the car running and the alternator spinning. Maybe your battery is weak as all hell. Don't know what else I can tell you. You know that's not correct.:)

Re: remote turn on wire

about to do the same. this is the yellow behind the radio? or is there a more convient place?

Re: remote turn on wire

If you have an aftermarket headunit, the turn-on wire is blue/white coming from headunit.

If you have the stock headunit and a power antenna, you can use the pink wire.

If you have the stock headunit and a regular antenna, you can use the yellow wire.

In order of preference.

ehhhhh

I have a regular antenna, but I found a wiring harness in the trunk for a power antenna (red, black, pink). Hooked it up, but didn't test for volts first. whoops. Crossing my fingers
