Where should i connect my remote wire?

Answer 1

connect it to the switched 12V blue/black wire..

Answer 2

If you're talking about the Blue remote wire on an aftermarket head unit. You probably don't need to hook it to anything. It is a remote turn on wire for a power antenna or external amplifier.

DO NOT CONNECT IT TO A POWERED SOURCE!!!!! Sorry for yelling. It just needed to be said.

If you need to turn on an amp, Use the switched 12V+ wire.

Answer 3

Any wire or fuse that is hot only when the ignition key is in.

Answer 4

blue/black

Answer 5

Run a fused (1 amp, 14 AWG) wire from a fuse in the fuse panel that only has power when the car is ON to one side of a switch. From the other side of the switch run the same sized wire to the REM (remote) connection on the amp.

This allows for full control and you never have to worry about forgetting to turn off the amp. The switch is so you can turn off the amp at will so as not to give grandma a heart attack in the car.

You can find fuse taps and in-line fuse holders at any autoparts store.
