[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8876130, member: 689267"] Without the wiring diagram I cannot be certain of the color associated with the head unit remote on or even if there is one on the HU. I assume there is and it usually the blue or blue/white wire. You can check this with a basic Multimeter. It will have no power when the ignition is off and will have power when the ignition is turned on. The simplest method without even needing to remove the HU is to use an LOC. These are inexpensive, clean and simple to use. This takes the leads from any R/L speaker that you would normally use to connect to the eub anp and then you run an RCA cable from the LOC to the amp instead. It uses the L/R speakers to generate a 12v REM turn on without the need to have a REM from the HU.Just L/R speaker leads to the Kicker LOC and from the LOC to the amp with the L/R RCA and the REM from the LOC to the REM on the amplified sub.
