H/K remote turn on
So I’m replacing the factory head unit in my 2006 R53 and before I do the job I have a question. I did some searching and know about the power antenna wire but one post says to run the amp remote turn on wire all the way back to the factory amp. I can’t find where to hook it to and there isn’t a closer connection than in the trunk? Eventually I’ll replace everything and not use the H/K amp but for now I need it. If it means anything it’s an Alpine deck. I have the connector all wired up other than one lonely blue/white wire and nothing to connect it to. Thx. Dave |
Ok it appears I would need an H/K enabler after reading a ton of posts on here. What a pain. Guess I’ll wait til I’m ready to do the entire system. |
When you do get around to replacing the deck, make sure you use the remote amp turn on lead if the deck has both a turn on lead and a power antenna lead. The names are often used interchangeably in posts online, especially when a deck only has one turn on lead, but some decks with both will cut power to the antenna lead when not listening to the radio input/mode causing the amp to shut off. Also, some cars don’t have motorized antennas but still need the power antenna wire connected because the car has a signal booster or amplifier for the radio signal. |
