on the headunit sometimes they have there own little bit wherre you plug the remote lead into but...

if u got a headunit like mine which wasnt ment for a amp then you will have to use your aerial power for the remote lead (which i think is used for when u have a eletric aerial that expands itself when the car is switched on/head unit switched on if that makes sense..

if that doesnt make sense pm me or reply on this thread and ill rewrite it :P
