Im not sure if the color coding on the wires is standard like the rest of the aftermarket radios (Hopefully Honda was smart enough to do that!) If it is standard, the wire should be a light blue color... Beware, some stock radios, and cheaper aftermarket radios dont come with a remote wire, so you end up having to splice the remote wire from the amp to the ignition switch wire, so that everytime you switch the ignition on the amp will switch on. (If you hook the remote wire up to the ignition wire make sure its fused.)

remote wires are usally blue and on the left hand side....it should be labeled something like remtoe 9.5v+ or something of the sorts and may have an inline fuse in it.....

I kno that the remote wires r blue on after market decks, but would it be blue on the stock deck also, cuz there r like 2 blue wires, teh same color, so which one would i use, is there neway to test them w.o trial n error/??

if the blue wire has a white stripe going down it it goes to the power antenna, first I would test the wire for voltage when you turn the radio on., (it could also test 12 volts if the ignition switch is on, some stock amps do that) Otherwise I would say go for trial and error, it shouldnt hurt the amp any. as long as you dont have any shorts in your power leads.
