you need the remote wire to switch the amp on, it should be a blue wire coming from the head unit.

yes, u need the remote wire, its what turns the amp on or off, according to what the headunit is doing.

Its really easy, just take your headunit out, and if its an aftermarket unit itll prob be the blue, or blue with white stripe

u need to cut the blue wire going into the iso connector and then to link it to the remote wire.
or you can look at the remote wire on the iso block, match up wich pin it corrosponds to on the vauxhall plug and then attatch it to ther

thats an easy job to do. Just wire it in to the right wire as said above^^^^
I remember when I did my first system. I forgot to put the remote wire in so the amp didnt come on! Took me ages to work out what was up!
Your not alone we've all had to start somewhere!
