hi guys, i tried to connect my amplifier (remote terminal) to PIN 8 (Antenna Power) which is shown in the picture. and yet it only works when i m listening to radio, once i switch my radio to AUX mode thn it will turn off my amplifier again. may i know which pin can i use instead?

thanks for ya helps...

Unfortunately the power antenna wire is unpowered when playing CDs.

You can use D10 - Pin 3 instead. It is an ACC switched wire, so the amp will be powered even when the radio is not on, but it will turn off with the car.

thanks,

do u know what color is the ACC switch? other than that is there any pin that i can use so that my amp will turn off when i turn off my player?

regards.

The ACC wire is a gray wire.

On the OEM HU there's no pin that will work for the amp turn on (with both radio and CD) and will kill the amp with the HU.

thanks CT

does your ACC refer to the Radio Ignition and which is gray in color?

Yes. ACC is the ignition switched power wire.

thanks for your super fast reply CT,

i tried the ACC wire already and tested with a multimeter. the output voltage of this wire give a voltage of 14V + when my car is ignited. is that alrite to run more than 12V into the Amp?

and yet can i actually use the radio battery wire?

regards.

yes.

and yes.

The 14V into the amp is fine.

The remote turn on is a low power circuit, so using that wire is fine.
