Remote wire to factory HU

Remote wire to factory HU
So after about a 1/2 hour of banging my head against the wall I realized that the remote isn't getting power because the remote wire got left out. I looked at the wire stickey, and I think the remote wire hooks to the yellow/black wire behind the headunit, right? thanks guys.

Ahhh. I'd assume you could use any wire with 12v from the deck. It's just something that runs current to the amp to say "Hey the deck is on, time for the amp to turn on as well". On my Pioneers, I've always used the power antenna wire b/c I've never had a car with a power antenna. lol
I'd prolly shoot a pm over to quest or another audio guy.

First of all, yes the yellow/black wire is the remote turn-on wire. Second, no factory deck has RCA's. Third, I would not recomend using the power antenna wire for the remote turn-on, because (especialy with aftermarket radios) when you switch it to CD the antenna will go down, cutting off the power to that wire.

The remote turn on is usually the blue/white wire on the new head unit.
If the new head unit has no remote turn on or power antenna wire ( blue/white and blue) you can always use the head unit accessory power to trigger a relay sending power to the amp. Most head units have both these wires or at least one but some low end units may not.

Did you ever get your question answered in this thread????????? I had mine hooked up to the accessory voltage to the back of the factory radio harness I beleive, the amp would come on anytime the key was turned on. I no longer have this setup so I have no way of checking. I have wiring diagrams at home but PM Rwenzing and he should be able to help.

I have a power antenna and an aftermarket deck and the antenna stays up as long as the HU is on. no matter what it's doing. It would be nice if it worked that way casue then I could listen to a CD in the car wash instead of silence. I have had 7 Cars with Power antenna's and none of them ever went down when the CD was spinning, and all of them had aftermarket HU's.

Ok, it looks to be I have had a lot of comments on my comment. I don't know who wired up your systems or who told you all this but maybe you guys should have paid a little more attention to what I said.
The yellow/black wire was the factory turn-on color!!!
On aftermarkets, the blue is the power antenna wire. The blue/white is the remote turn-on wire.
Maybe you guys have both power antenna & turn-on lead to the blue/white wire or something else cause everytime I've hooked it up the right way, when you switch from radio to CD the antenna should go down!!
I should know what I'm talking about since I do this EVERYDAY!! And for a living!

i see no blue/white wire that is just for the intenna here.....o wait it look like pioneer doesn't have one...they use the solid blue wire to turn on the atenna AND the amps!!! so i guess that since they use 1 wire for both that the power antenna would stay up when you switch from radio to CD because you would still want your amps on....
here is a zoom in of the solid BLUE wire that describes what it is used for....

Maybe you use the cheap stuff then, like Pioneer & JVC. Because my both of my Alpine's have a BLUE wire that is for power antenna. Oh gee, so does Kenwood and Clarion!
Like I said, I DO THIS FOR A LIVING! So I know that some have that blue antenna wire. Don't sit there and tell me what i do or don't see!

Whoa, whoa, whoa. *Face turns red* I'll be the better person and stand down from this one...
It's a powerful tool, use it. Maybe the cheap Pioneers Circuit City or Wal-Mart carries. That's only b/c they cater to that market.....dumba$$es.

Alright, I'm gonna end this one. I'm not dissin' Pioneer, lord knows I've used them in the past. All I'm saying is know what you're talking about before you talk about it. This is not how I intended this thread to go. I'm not trying to **** people off. I'm just telling you what else is out there. Not everything revolves around Pioneer. Whats with the finger gestures and the name calling, cause anybody can do that on the internet. Ya, thats something to show newbies, how you guys talk on this forum.
