oh and by the way, i don't know why anyone complains about the adapter kits on ebay. mine worked just fine, i just had to take out the circle that holds the speakers and drill my own holes, no biggie.

Laying in bed I just had a thought haha. I could wire it to either the cigarette lighter or the ignition wife on the deck? My power is yellow so the red one? Thoughts?

BUT, i did have one thing that wasn't connected that i usually connect to other cars i've had this deck in, illumination/orange wire. i have a newer pioneer deck btw, maybe a year old or so. but yeah the deck turns on without it, strange. it's just not connected to anything, i don't know how that works haha.
Glad to help, mang.

i got around to installing stuff today, went pretty... okay. for some reason the remote wire doesn't work, might be the deck, might be the amp i got (it's used), not sure. but when i connect it to the remote wire on the deck harness it doesn't turn on, but when i connect it to the constant power it turned on fine. any suggestions on other places to wire it to?
As for the amp not turning on, are you sure you're using the remote turn on and not the remote for a power antenna trigger? That will only come on with the AM/FM, not CD. Check your wiring again, but if it's correct according to the manual, you can use the cigarette lighter. I would trigger a relay to minimize the current draw. You can jump the +12V supply for the relay from your supply for the amp. The fuses for the cigarette lighter and for the amp will negate any need for additional fusing, too, so that saves you some hassle.

now it's time to find some mdf and build a massive box. i hope it'll fit in the trunk.
