Ummm neither...
1. If you don't know this, you shouldn't be doing it
2. Even though it's your first post, search before you post.
3. Connect it to the remote turn-on out of the head unit, it's blue. Some head units have blue and blue/white.. one is power antenna and the other is remote turn-on check your manual to see which one is what.

There are a few places that you can tap for a remote wire using the stock deck. The ignition wire (which is switched, meaning it only has power wehn the car is running). The cig lighter wire, especially in this particular vehicle, is probably the easiest place though. Do you own a DMM (digital multi-meter)? If so, simply turn the vehicle off and test the wires. One will be constant 12v source, and one will give you no readout. Turn teh ignition to the on position (don't even have to crank the car). Now retest, the one that didn't have power before should have power now. That lets you know that it's a remote turn-on lead, and that it'll only supply power when the vehicle is on (or at least the key turned to the on position). That is where you can tap your remote. Make sure wherever you tap only comes on when the vehicle is on.

Also, this has been covered, but I didn't want to be a **** and say "search". However, try different terms, such as "remote tap" "stock headunit remote" something like that. Results should come up. Broaden your search terms and most of the time you'll find the answer on here. Good luck.

Also, you'll want to avoid using the antenna wire. That'll work when you're listening to the radio, but the amp might turn off if you switch to CD or Tape [whatever you're HU is].
