hey wes. yeah, i figured that part out. i was like

for a while there (i've always run my amps through an aftermarket deck). well i didn't want to tap into the wiring harness (since i didn't know which one to tap into) so for the time being i attached the remote wire to the radio fuse and that seems to be a temporary fix until someone designs a drop-in kit so that i can install my kenwood receiver into the stock slot. ah well... thanks for the info!
