remote wire

Asked by Gregg Jun 22, 2018 at 08:55 PM about the 2003 Toyota Highlander Base V6

Question type: General

My car factory harness does not have a connection for my remote blue/white
wire, but my head unit does, will my head unit still send current to my amp to
turn it on? My best guess it it will, but only when i turn on my radio? but I'm
still not suer, my amp keeps going into protect mode. and i'm thinking.

Your head unit should have a solid blue wire which is the remote wire, the blue/white is also but more commonly used for power antenna. Extend either of those directly to the remote port on the amp and yes it will turn on with the head unit. For the protect mode triple check all your wiring (even one stray strand can cause an issue) including main amp fuse amd be sure youre using a good clean solid ground. If it continues to trip it probably has an internal issue
