Help- C5 remote wire
hi, i got my sub and amp working. I didnt feel like taking the radio out so i hooked up the remote wire to a fuse in the fuse box. the fuse that its is on now only gets power when the car is on, or key click into on position. I was going to hook it to the bose fuse but it always has power. how should I hook the remote wire up? it works for now but need to change it. thanks
