All I can really say to help is from what Ive seen from my last couple of aftermarket headunits the remote is blue.

Do you have the manual? If not could you download it as PDF ?

No you don't have to wire it to your actual ignition lol. On the stereo wiring there will be a red positive and a yellow positive. The yellow is permanent live which stores your Memory. The red is your ignition live which means when you turn car of stereo goes off. Hence why I said wire it into this. As all the blue amp remote wire is for is to turn amps on and off. Hope this helps
