How do you splice a remote turn on wire?
Since the factory wire is already terminated on both ends, splicing into the wire is necessary. Use a T-tap connector or cut the factory wire to splice into the wire by twisting the remote turn on wire together with one end of the factory wire, then crimp on a butt connector.
What kind of wire do I need for remote turn on?
To connect wire to wire, an appropriately sized butt connector or other style connector can be used. For stock head units, wiring the remote turn on wire isn’t quite as simple, but is still easily done if you follow the proper steps.
Where does the remote turn on signal come from?
Since a stock/factory radio doesn’t have a remote turn on output like an aftermarket head unit, the voltage turn on signal has to come from the factory electrical system. The remote turn on wire must be connected to part of the vehicle’s electrical system that only turns on when the ignition is in the ACCESSORY or ON position.
How do you put a butt connector on a wire?
Butt connectors (also called barrel connectors) are basically a metal tube wrapped in plastic insulation. To splice into a wire using a butt connector, you would cut the wire in the location where you want to install the butt connector. Then crimp one end of the wire you just cut into one end of the butt connector.
