RE: Sub Problem - 5/11/2008 1:37:02 PM    12 volt Posts: 1363 Joined: 8/4/2007 From: roswell New Mexico Status: offline well theres your problem. most aftermarket HUs have a rem wire built in  (could fail) theres another wire in the car that does the samething. You just have to find it. _____________________________ 98 neon Sport mtx/DOHC audio system, toggle switch ignition, K&N insert 95 neon (parts car) 91 BMW E34 (in reply to 00Neon89) Post #: 7

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 check is to use a voltmeter or a 12volt test lamp _____________________________ 98 neon Sport mtx/DOHC audio system, toggle switch ignition, K&N insert 95 neon (parts car) 91 BMW E34 (in reply to 00Neon89) Post #: 10
