You can get Line to RCA converters.

Then you can either use the trigger wire or run a switched + to the amp for a remote.

If it's a standard ISO then look for the switched live pin.
If not then the Line to Preout converter above will make a trigger wire. As soon as it detects audi it will switch the Amp on.

You want to get a multimeter or a test blub. Ground one side out and look which pin is the ingition switched.
There is a ground, ingition, permenant and illumination usually.

you can just use the live from the fag lighter, just splice into the wire so they will both work after.lozz wrote:Cheers sam,

"Understeer" is when you hit the fence with the front of the car.
"Oversteer" is when you hit the fence with the rear of the car.
"Horsepower" is how fast you hit the fence.
"Torque" is how far you take the fence with you.
