My first guess is that you've tapped into an "interesting" source for your remote wire; one that is hot more often than you want. What did you hook the remote wire to exactly?

Also how do you know the "sub" is on (I assume you mean the amp)? Does it pop? The radio must not be on, right?

By "sub" i meen subwoofer..which is powered by the amp so I guess yes the amp..I used the Green Battery Wire in the Pin 13 Location of the shaker power. It doesnt pop..the sub just bumps really loud and doesnt stop until i do something (turn key..open door..close door etc.) I think its where the shaker has a constant power source..what are you all using for your power wire to slpice?

Pin 13 of which plug? Check out this diagram: ftp://hyproman.serveftp.net/2005_mus...dio_wiring.pdf

It looks like either way it's incorrect. Pin 13 on the large plug is "POWER GROUND", and on the smaller plug it's "MONO SHIELD". Unfortunately there are no wire colors on this diagram.

I *think* I used pin 2 (RUN/ACCESS), but I can't honestly remember. I think pin 1 is on all the time. You are probably hearing the sub "jump" when the radio comes on. Check the amp to see if it is on (ie: LED indicator) when the car is completely off. I bet it is on all the time. I would disconnect the amp until you get it sorted out, unless you like dead batteries...
