Actually some headunits have 2 wires coming out that are blue. The solid blue is power antenna and the blue w/ white stripe is the one you want to use for the remote turn on.

If you use the wrong one your amp will shut off when playing a cd.

Blue for aftermarket, as for stock check the wiring diagram on the site. Not too sure
