), which included the power and remote wires.
Stock head unit.
The car is a 2001 (pretty sure) VW Beetle. Apparently there is a distribution block located underneath the dash on the driver's side; fused in the engine bay by the battery. I don't know if this block is used for any stock applications in the vehicle or not. The block consists of 4 or 5 (don't have the car here anymore, working off memory) posts: one is labeled 75 ohm, two labeled 30, one more labeled 30A; I think there is one more, however I don't recall what that one was labeled.
The remote turn wire is hooked up to the post labeled 75ohm. When the car is turned on, the amplifier turns on as well, and everything is gravy (sounds great, by the way). While the car is running, if you turn the radio off and back on, the amplifier shuts off, however it fails to turn back on. You must turn the car off, and restart the car in order to turn the amplifier back on.
How can I fix this problem, and does anyone have experience with the Beetles and their distro bocks (I assume thats what it is)?
Thank you for your time, and reading this lengthy post.
