Your amplifier should(hopefully) have an input for a "remote turn on" or some words to that effect. Hopefully your deck has either a "remote turn on" wire or a "power antenna" wire coming out the back of it. If it does, you're in business. Extend it to the "remote turn on" on the amp and you should be good!

When you turn your car radio to the aux function or the CD function it shuts your amp off but it works when its on the radio?
The problem you're having is an easy mistake. The wire you're connected to is not the remote wire for an amp. This wire you're connected to is used for a power radio antenna. That's why it's turning off the amp whenever you leave the radio.
Can someone teach me where to connect my remote wire for my car stereo if i don t have a amp?
if you are talking about an aftermarket radio's amp turn on wire then without an amp you can just cap it off. if the harness used to connect to new radio to your factory wires has a blue antenna/factory amp then you can connect it to that provided the new radio doesnt have a second blue wire for that purpose.

Why do i have to reset radio stations each time i turn car off?
Your radio must be poorly installed in your car for you to reset your stations every time you turn your car off. A car radio ultimately rely on 3 wires for it to function properly. 12 volt wire- Gives Continuous Positive current to radio. Saves your settings, and Saves your stations when your car is off and on. Ground wire- Gives Negative current to radio. Work with the Positive current going to your radio coming from the 12 wire. Without this wire connected, your radio wont function at all. Accessory wire- Will only provide Positive current to radio when the car turn ON. This wire is used to make sure the radio will turn on with your car. The reason you have to keep resetting your stations every time you turn on your car is because someone connected both 12volt wire and Acc wire that's from the radio into the Acc wire in the car. There's no continuous positive current going to the radio when the car is off because the 12volt wire in the car was not used. I'm a professional MECP Certified Mobile Electronic Installer.
