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.

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.
