[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1374280, member: 561023"] Depending on what type of head unit you have there should be either one or two blue wires in the harness that attaches to the rear of the deck. If there are two one will have a stripe alongside the wire's insulation and the other will not. I do not know if it holds true for all brands but on newer Kenwoods the one with the stripe is for amp/EQ/crossover/whatever activation and the wire without the stripe is for power antenna control. If you have both make certain that you attach the amp's remote activation circuit to the proper blue wire as oftentimes the one meant for power antenna activation only holds current in tuner mode.
