Remote turn on

[EarDrummin. 10+ year member]

Hey, this is a newbish question.

I have 0 experience with head units, where the hell does the remote turn on wire go INTO the head unit? I have an eclipse, and it's about a year old. I'd go out to the car and get the model number, but I'm too drunk. Thanks

which turn on wire? the one that is in the car harness or the one on the radio? the one in the car's harness goes to the radio. It tell the radio when to turn on. The one on the radio goes to a amp OR power antenna. Some HU have a seperate turn-on for power antenna though.

It's for an amp.. but I don't see any holes, labeled screws, anything on the back of the HU. I think I was supposed to find a 12 volt connection or something? Also, as far as signals, there are 3 pairs of rca connections on the back of the HU. They're labeled, "front, rear, and non fader". I'm trying to hook up the rca's from my amp for my subs. Which connection should I hook the rca's up to? The rear or the non fader? Thanks

You should use the non-fading output for your subs. The remote turn-on lead should be included in the head unit's wiring harness. It should be either a blue/white lead or a blue lead.

yea you can do it that way but if ya want run it into your fuse box to the accesories this way its off when yer cars off and on when its on ususlly your radio is on when ya have a car on so it should be all good i usually put a switch on it too so i can turn it off whenever
