  1. I know when i installed mine in the burban i had the same problem ,after checking into it there is the power antenna (wrong wire) and the remote wire i had the power antenna hooked up and it would turn the amp on in radio mode but shutoff on ipod or cd mode. my hu is the alpine cda 9886 i know this doesnt help with your headlights on off thing wonder if you hooked up the remote wire to your illumination lead behind the hu on the factory harness this would be my bet. :fool: also might i ad when i bought the truck it had a pioneer dvd9 hu in it that had no faceplate and when i bought the new unit to install i found that the moron that installed the previous unit cut the factory harness off and wired it up so i had a huge mess to figure out junk yard FTW!!!

    Hmm good point. I think you may be right about the remote turn on/illumination wire. My headlight switch also turns on the dash and interior lights. I am going to recheck everything. I have the wiring diagram for the hu and for my trucks factory radio. I will make sure it is matched up.

  2. ok, this has me stumped.

    When the head unit is in radio mode, neither one of my amps are on (same REM turn on wire) but then, if i turn my headlight switch on, both amps will turn on and work fine.

    Basically {headlights on--amp on}---{headlights off---amp off} WTF!!!

    (btw its a 93 chevy silverado 350 4X4)

    It only does this in radio mode. CD and AUX work fine and it doesnt matter if the headlight switch is on or off.

    The only thing I can think of is the ground power is running throught the headlight circuit? I have upgraded my batt-frame wire to 4 gauge and all the other grounds are good.

    ANY IDEAS what the heck is going on??!
