I thought remote is usually blue, but you might want to find a wiring diagram or use a test light to make sure.

Get a multimeter....then just probe the wires at the plug untill you get one that is hot only with the key in and turned...

If its an aftermarket headunit USUALLY the remote is blue on the smart harnes. I'd just do as the others say and get a multimeter.

An easy way to find out is look on the amp..is the power light still on the amp when the keys are out of the ignition?
