I think its a yellow wire but check first.

Flatline1121's photo gallery 		You should run a remote wire to the back of the radio following the signal(RCA) wires and wire it into the RED wire. The red is the "switched" power that turns on when you turn the car on. and this is what certified techs do... let me know how it turns out.

falkore24's photo gallery 		The remote wire is blue, sometimes with a white stripe ..... the HU has it, just find it on the wiring diagram that is stuck on top of the unit.

Most "modern" headunits only utilize the power antenna wire when the radio is being used. The amp will shut off if you switch from "Radio" to "Disc" or "iPod" etc.

Usually the deck has blue for power ant. and blue/white for amp, or vice versa. If you have no luck with that, just tap into the red or yellow ignition power, NOT the "always hot" wire or you'll drain your battery from having the amp on all the time.
