Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8638 Registered: Dec-03 | nothing really for remote since the remote trigger should turn devices on with the head unit.. but you can in a pinch use a switched ignition line.. that turns everything on with the keys in the ACC/RUN position |
