Hi Villa05, if you can give me the model number, I can probably tell which pin the remote turn on lead should be in and if need be you can move the antenna remote from it's current location to the remote location in the connector. In the meantime, you can use an accessory lead (or tie into the red wire on your radio) to supply 12V+ to your amplifier's remote turn on lead.

Assuming you have the radio coming on with the key, the amplifier will only come on when the key is on and yes it is safe, but like I mentioned earlier, if you can give me the model number, I may be able to tell you which pin in the radio's connector is for the remote turn on lead.

If you only have one blank pin in the connector, simply remove the power antenna remote lead from it's current pin location and insert it into the blank pin location.

just connect the amps remote laed to a switch and connect the other side of the switch to an ignition lead in the car that way when you shut off the car it will turn off even if you forget about the switch.
