First off, there is no remote turn on off a factory headunit.

You'll have to wire up your amps remote terminal up to the fuseblock. With a voltage tester or multimeter, find an open fuse spot that becomes "hot" when the car is turned on. That way when you have the car on, the amp can be on, but once you turn the car off the amp will automatically shut off just like an aftermarket headunit.

Now for the RCA's. DO NOT hook up the RCA's to the speaker wires. THIS WILL BLOW SHIT UP! What you want is a "high-to-low" RCA convertor. These can be had at best buy, circuit city, etc. It turns your high level speaker signal into a low level RCA signal. All you do is splice in the convertors wires onto a set of speaker wires. Wire taps (such as THESE) would be the easiest way to accomplish this.

OR

You can combine your two necessities into one easy pacakge by purchasing a line out convertor that has a built in remote trigger. How this works is once the LOC detects an input signal, it will trigger the remote turn on, thus turning on your amp.

Here's one that would work for you: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_5285_PAC+TRUNK-LOC.html

I just pulled up the diagram and there is no remote turn on or power antenna lead.

You can always use a PAC interface AOEM-GM24 for the 03-06TB and save yourself some wire cutting, do you have onstar?

Yeah, I guess it depends on the year and features.

The diagram I pulled up only covers 2006 and earlier.

Well, you have to have the remote terminal hooked up to a source that turns off when you turn the car off, otherwise the amp will always be on.

The easiest way to do it is to tap into the fuseblock on a spot that is hot when the ignition is on, and off when the ignition is off.
