Were does the remote blue wire connect?

How do I connect the blue Amp remote turn on wire?

  • The vm9410 dvd unit is installed and I have an external alpine amp. The blue wire goes from the amp to the blue/white striped wire in the back of the radio? real question: Do I splice this into the current connection (radio to car)? It would be three wires spliced together. (radio, car, and amp) Is this correct? Another question... I hear static when I have the unit on. When the volume is off (at 0) there is no static. Static does Not increase with the volume. It happens on tuner and cd/dvd. Thanks for any input.

  • Answer:

    the blue wire on the reciever goes directly to the amp ....if you have a factory amp too (like newer cars) then you need to connect both the factory amp and your new amp to the reciever's blue wire.....the blue wire only signals the amps to turn on...... also, your static sound is most likely a ground problem.... make sure you have a good ground connection---I WOULD NOT RUN A POWER SOURCE THROUGH A TOGGLE SWITCH UNLESS THE TOGGLE IS CONTROLLING A RELAY!!

Im pretty sure you splice all of the Remote turn on wires together, in your case all three. as far as the staic do you have the rca wires by the power wire? If so put them further apart from each other.

The remote question you answered yourself just splice the wires. For the static noice can be many things, do the following steps and find the source of noise by elimination: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-cHqtD9tR4NS/support/faq.html

To eliminate the static try to get a big ground wire, short as possible (no more than 12 inches) and ground the amp black wire as well as the amp case to the car as close to the amp as possible. That usually works for me. Usually just grounding the case works. Scratch the paint off at a mounting hole and attach ground there. Another cause is running the speaker wires too close to the power wires. I usually try to run speaker wires by themselves on the other side of the vehicle. If they are tie wrapped to any other power wire they will pick up induction noise. Hope you can get it to work.

Move your RCA cables away from your power source to get rid of the static. The blue "switch" wire coming out of your deck will go to the amp. If you are unsure if it is the right wire, get a test light and hook it up to the wire and turn the head unit on and off. If the light turns on with the unit,it is right. If you are still unsure, you can install a toggle switch (power from battery to switch, switch to amp) and use it to turn the amp on and off. Good Luck

the blue wire needs to be spliced into the blue/white striped wire coming out of your head unit. (you should use connectors, but electrical tape works) the other end needs to be plugged into the port on the amp labeled REM (different brands might not use REM, but the REM -remote- port is usually the only one left after power, grounding, RCA, and speaker wire is plugged in)
