You can run a wire from your fuse panel that powers up with the ignition in the on position.

Ok so just break out the old test light & go fishing? I do have one blue wire but it actually has POWER ANTENNA written on it.

Remote should be a blue wire with a white stripe.

I have never seen an HU that didn't have one.

"I have never seen an HU that didn't have one."

You gotta do more installs with low end head units. Believe it or not some don't have RCA outputs either.

I have seen some with only one set of RCAs but not with none.

But yeah I don't work with low end equipment much.

If you don't have a remote wire, then use the ignition (switched 12v) wire at the radio harness.
