i recently installed a system in my 92 camry and didn't see a wire to connect the remote wire to my radio. i did see a blue wire from the wiring harness that looped back into the wiring harness. is this the wire that it is supposed to be connected to ? what should i do?

If not, then use your 12 volt switched(ignition) which is Gray.

just try one at a time.. try the blue first.. it should work. If this is NOT a stock radio, you can tie into the red wire which should be ignition.

i just looked and my ignition wires were red and nothing happened when i connected them. Do you know of any other thing to try or do you think i should just take it somewhere?

Are you using a stock head unit, or aftermarket? I just spliced the remote for my amps into the remote that turns my head unit on. I have 3 amps & an EQ all spliced together. I know it's not right, you're supposed to use a relay, but I haven't had time to install one yet, & it's worked fine for a few years now.

I hope your doing the right thing: Remote wire should hook up from the amp to the blue wire of the aftermarket radio.

Power from the amp should be run from the amp to the battery. Make sure it is fused.

Ground should be coming out the amp to the chassi of the vehicle.

You should have 3 wires from the amp/s in order to turn on.

Rca wires should just plug in from the amp to the aftermarket radio.

you can go there.. its suppose to turn on when you turn the ignition then. Make sure that the amp is getting good ground and constant. Use a tester.
