remote turn on wire
I plan on hooking up my amp and sub box this weekend...I need to know what color the remote turn on wire is out of the radio so I can splice into it and run it back to the amp.
Muchos Gracias Compadres!

you can hook it up to your power antenna if thats easier for you to do.....thats what i did and the antenna comes up when u turn the power on on the head unit, it works great

i cant remember and i cant see which one it is without pulling one of those stupid black plugs out it should be a small gauge wire not sure which one cuz i tested it to figure out which one it was when i installed a universal antenna cuz my stock one went out....might be blue....thats the color remote wire usually is but im not really sure

yah sorry i cant be of more help but those little plug things are impossible to take out and u have to buy new ones everytime you do it.....its really hard for me to see but it might be black but yet again i could be wrong cuz i did install another antenna....yah you got the right idea just use your voltmeter and you will find the right one

I know I was playing around in my trunk a while back and found the antenna power lead going into the antenna. It wasn't hard to find. There are only a few wires back there. I just had to find the one that was only powered on when the antenna was up.
