x2. You would be surprised at how much you can get for many stock cd player, by selling them on ebay. Sells your stock deck online and put another $100 towards a cd player, dash kit, and wiring harness.

The thing is that I aready got an aftermarket H-U. But, it's doing free games and I will send it for repair no fees cause I got a garanty. And I just can't be without Sound in my car. That's the Prob, so the time it will be in servicing, I could put back my OEM H-U. That's why I wanna know where can I plug the Remote wire?

You can plug it into any power source that is ignition controlled (i.e. only has power when the key is turned to on or run).

Simple thing to do is just probe your fuse box and find an unused slot that is ignition controlled, and use a spade connector to connect the wire to the open fuse slot.
