Ok a few thoughts before buying the stuff needed to connect my amp (4ch Rockford Fosgate) . Connecting remote wire to the cigarette lighter terminal means that amp will be powered on when ignition is on. But what if I want to switch on the headunit with the ignition off or without the key in the ignition? Then the amp wont turn on and you wont hear anything even if the headunit is on. Also in case you re driving and you want to turn off the headunit, the amp will still be operating.
So it would be the best if there was a remote wire in the head unit. Checked the pinout above but cant figure out if there is a pin that corresponds to remote power (maybe pin 43?). Next option is to buy a High to Low Level converter with remote power control. For example: http://www.pyleaudio.com/sku/PLVHL70/2-C...te-Turn-On
But this needs to be connected to 12V constant power and ground. Checking the pinout, pin 44 is for 12V constant power and pin 38 is for ground. Am I right?
So should I prefer the converter with remote wire or dont bother at all and connect remote wire to lighter terminal?
