the blue remote wire isnt getting 12 volts. RCA cables only provide signal

well theres your problem.

most aftermarket HUs have a rem wirebuilt in (could fail) theres another wire in the car that does the samething. You just have to find it.

if its hooked up to power all the time the amps wont turn off, thus killing your batt. If your blue rem wire from the HU isnt working correctly. i think its a yellow wire that goes into your HU is the same, meaning 12volts off when you trun your car off then on when you trun the key on.

easiest way to checkis to use a voltmeter or a 12volt test lamp
