Default Remote wire location

I have an 06 F150, trying to install my sub and amp off the stock HU. I already have the subs spliced and wired in, the only thing missing is the remote wire. Im not sure where to put it or what wire off the HU to splice it into. Couldn' t find any accurate diagrams online to help me out. Any suggestions?

There is not turn on output from the non audiophile deck.

You can use a delayed acc on. So I would splice position 2 in the Power harness at the radio. Should be Pink/Black wire if you've got an xl or stx or a Light Green/Yellow for any other trim.

Some amps with high/speaker level inputs have auto turn ons for this reason, might want to make sure your amp doesn't before running the wire.

Yea I have the FX4 trim. Light green/yellow would make sense. I know the amp does not have that feature. Thanks for the help!
