What is the difference between remote and power antenna?
Hence the term “remote turn on wire”. Almost every aftermarket head unit has a remote turn on wire. Some manufacturers call it a power antenna wire. But regardless of the label all it does is output a positive 12 volts when the head unit is turned on.
What color is the remote wire on a Boss radio?
This blue wire (typically with a white stripe), may be even more important to understand than your standard power and ground wires because if it isn’t installed correctly, your amplifier will not turn on even if it has good power and ground connections OR it may constantly draw power and drain your battery over night.
Where to place the remote turn on wire?
With the ignition in the OFF position, place the positive lead of the multimeter on the end of the remote turn on wire and place the negative lead of the multimeter to a grounding point. Be sure the positive lead is touching the wire strands inside the jacket of the remote turn on wire.
What happens when the remote turn on wire is turned off?
When the ignition of the vehicle is turned off, the remote turn on wire stops transferring voltage and the amplifier turns off. If the remote turn on wire is connected to a wire in the vehicle that has constant voltage, the amplifier will always be on.
What’s the difference between head unit and remote turn on wire?
One thing to note, most head unit wiring harnesses also have a solid blue wire. This wire is typically for power antenna or factory amplifier turn on, do not get this wire confused with the remote turn on wire with the blue/white stripe. An aftermarket head unit typically has a clearly marked blue/white wire included in the wiring harness.

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.
