I just installed an amp and woofer in my 2001 eclipse spyder GTS. Currently I am manually turning the amp on and off.

Normally, I would run a wire from the "power antenna" wire behind the head unit all the way to the amp. But, on the stock head unit, it is a full databus running out from the head unit, so I have no way of finding a power antenna wire.

Has anyone had any experience getting a remote/ignition/power-antenna signal from a stock head unit set up? I've heard that there is somewhere under the driver-side dash where you can pull the signal from an ignition wire, or from a wire leading to you gauge cluster, so that when you turn on your key, the amp gets signal from there.

Any ideas? Im really hopin for like a picture of where to pull the wire or at least a solid description because at this point I am totally lost and am going to spend a lot of money on batteries the way I continue forgetting to turn my amp off manually whenever I go somewhere.
