All the remote on the amp needs is a positive source to tell it to turn on.

Check the headunit wiring for a thin blue wire.

The headunit should have a load of pins on the back. Get a wiring loom for the headunit to the car wiring, there should be a blue wire on this for the remote.

yer im using the standard vauxhall loom because it plugged straight into the head unit so i find blue wire cut and connect the remote wire to it

It won\'t be connected to anything, so no need to cut.

Standard loom might have an accessory wire for an electric aerial - use this.
