[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1258610, member: 561023"] Sounds to me that you have the wrong blue wire connected as the remote turn-on lead. There's a blue wire coming out of the wiring harness attached to your radio that you've got connected (I will assume) to the remote activation terminal on your Pioneer amplifier. Well - there should be a second blue wire in the radio's wiring harness and it sounds to me like the one you didn't use is the one you should have used. The reason that there are two blue wires is that one is used for accessory activation (such as amplifiers, EQs, and whatnot) and the other is meant for electric antenna duty if you have an electric radio antenna. On some radios the output meant for electric antenna duty only carries a current when the radio is in tuner mode. In CD or Aux. mode that lead goes cold. Just switch which blue lead you've got connected to your amp and you should be good!
