so youd tap into the gray.

for confirmation, id recommend hitting up a harbor freight and picking up a 4.00 multimeter and check the pins.

HARBOR FREIGHT MULTI METER

you should only get voltage on the pin when the car is on

I guess you can just hook up the blue amp remote wire to an accessory power wire (the gray wire on terminal 3 of the middle connector on the head unit itself maybe) and have the amp come on every time the key is on.


Not to be a putz, but... I think I covered that.
