VR3, getting an Alpine soon. Can you explain in more detail on how to run the ground loop wire?

Sounds like someone royally ****ed your shit up. Seriously how complicated is it to get Constant, Switched, and Ground connected right? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

BTW if you have no remote wire you can use the switched ignition wire i believe. Havent tried this but ive heard it can be done. I prefer to use the blue remote wire usually included with all head units though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I think it's fixed, don't hear the engine noise anymore. No, the remote wire shouldn't be wired tot he ignition wire, that's how my battery went dead. I just wired it to my HU's amplifier remote wire after I found the manual.

thats what you shouldve done in the first place. Did someone else install it or something? Why cant the ignition switched wire be used for the amp turn on? ive always heard it could

I had a friend help me install it back then. I don't really know why the ignition switch can't be used for remote, but I think it doesn't tell the amp to turn itself off when the car is off, thus it's draining the battery.

Man happened again, what the hell is wrong? Battery tested at autozone to be good, wirings are all correct on headunit, tested both amps and nothing wrong with them, all wires are connected and grounded right.

No more engine noise, everything works fine when car actually starts.

Anymore suggestion guys? I took it to local car audio and they didn't know what the problem was either.
