Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 15:22 GMT Remote should be a blue wire with a white stripe. I have never seen an HU that didn't have one.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 15:28 GMT "I have never seen an HU that didn't have one." You gotta do more installs with low end head units. Believe it or not some don't have RCA outputs either.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 15:31 GMT I have seen some with only one set of RCAs but not with none. But yeah I don't work with low end equipment much.

Thursday, March 27, 2008 - 15:59 GMT If you don't have a remote wire, then use the ignition (switched 12v) wire at the radio harness.
