Well no one listens to anyone but you so you might want to put "remote wire is blue" in big bold letters

its probably like a 6 inch wire coming out the BACK OF YOUR RADIO. you will need to splice a longer wire of similar gauge (probably around 20g) that will run STRAIGHT to your amp.

ok not including whatever tach or what not, on ur guages is there just 2 wires power and ground? or 3 ( power ground turn on)

what fuses did you try? only 2 of the 20 on the inside box might work

I have a Solution,

Take it to someone that knows what they are doing,
And
know what your asking for before asking a question.

By the way, if your "testing" with a door open, it's not going to work.

(and technicaly, the Sunroof fuse won't give you the Same RAP feature you had with the stock radio, as either door will turn off the radio, not just the drivers door.)

so to piggy back on this and answer my question from another thread...

three guages...
three power wires spliced into one single power wire...
"add a line" fuse (equipped with a 20 and a 10 amp fuse) in the sunroof fuse

all three guages have power when vehicle is on but turn off when vehicle is off and door is opened...

do i have it correct?
