I vaguely remember when I wired mine, you have brown, brown with white stripe, green and green with white stripe are speaker wires.
As for the remote wire I remember testing a bunch of wires with a voltmeter.
I'll take a look at mine pretty soon and let u know

I tried the accessory wire which is the antenna amplifier which worked for the radio only. but i hooked it up to the illumination wire which fixed the issue.

?? :X

accessory should be triggered with the key turned to "acc" position.
as for illumination, i'm guessing it works because of day time running lights.

whatever works though

tap into an acc/ign wire (u should get 12v when the key is in the "acc" or "on" position) for ur remote rather than the ant wire. ur amp wont turn on b/c it's for tuner. there is no need for the ant if ure listening to a cd...

also maybe turn down ur high/low converter/line output converter a little and also make sure u have a good ground fort amp. wherever ur ground is, did u scrape the paint off to get contact w/ bare metal?

Ur amp can be/going bad as well... the pop coming just from the sub right? Not all ur door speakers or where u tapped in to the speaker wire?
