It runs from your deck to the amplifier. When the deck turns on, it sends a low voltage signal to the amp to let the amp know to turn on. If you are running an amp on a stock stereo, there are other ways to turn the amp on without a remote wire, but that's the easiest way.
So, simple answer, it turns your amp on when the stereo comes on.
Yes a remote wire is necessary. You must wire the remote wire from the amp to and ignition source of power (a component which turns on when the ignition in the car is engaged.) i.e. the radio. The remote wire signals for the amp to power on.
The Pioneer AVH-P4100 and the Jensen VM9312HD are both excellent car stereos with changes and remotes.
remote wire is to control amp, bass coming from subs, and the frequency
Yes, most cars come with extremely basic factory installed stereos with radio capability. Factory installed car stereos have changed over the year. The quality and features of the car stereos differs between manufacturers.
Cheap car stereos typically have very low bass and lack the "bump and thump" of more expensive car stereos. You can purchase nice car stereos online from websites such as Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.
The remote wire coming out of your car stereo constantly sends a low voltage signal while the stereo is turned on. This is to signal external components such as amplifiers or power antenae to activate. If you don't have these items, the remote wire should be taped off as to not ground out on anything. IF you were wondering where to run the remote wire from your amplifier to a stereo that does not have a remote wire, I would suggest sistering it to the hot wire (red) coming out of the stereo. Make sure that your radio doesn't function without the ignition turned on. If your radio works without the key in the ignition and you have your remote wire from your amp wired to the hot wire on your deck your amp will remain on all of the time wether you're in the car or not. This will lead to a dead battery. Hope this helps Shane (vmax33)
it provides a signal to your subwoofer amplifier to turn it on and off with the car's key
The remote wire is not hooked up. It should be a small blue wire, just take the radio out and hook thise remote wire up and then the radio should turn off when the car is turned off.
i have the same car, and the wire is either dark or light blue.

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!
