HELP PLEASE - Remote turn on wire color for RF system???

Snap · 05-04-2005, 08:04 PM

Anyone know what color the remote turn on wire is on the RF system? I've searched all over for it but can't seem to find a post that tells what color it is. Thanks for any help you can give me.

The remote turn-on is pin 12 on M44. This is the connector which contains the rear channel audio wiring. Pull the connector from the radio and look into the connector (retaining clip up) as if you were going to plug it into your nose. Pin 12 is the right most pin on the upper row (beside the retaining clip). Wire color is G/W.
Some have reported that the turn-on voltage is not 12 volts and it will not operate some amps. You may need to drive a relay with the HU turn-on line and feed 12 volts to your amp through the relay contacts.

Thanks for the help eakes and bestatchess. That's exactly what happened. I'm getting 8 volts off of the remote which is not triggering the amp. I can hook the remote in to the battery in on the amp and everything kicks on, but of course it won't ever turn off. I'll give the low voltage trigger a shot. Thanks again for your help!!
