i have a 2004 silverado with a stock cd player no boss or cd changer and wanted to know where i could connect my remote turn on for my amp. Any suggestions would be great thank you.

Answer
Here is the wiring chart for your vehicle:

Since the current draw for the remote turnon is usually very low you can connect any of the wires coming off he ignition.  If you can't find one you can always run one off any wire switched on with the ignition such as the one turning the head unit on.

Good Luck.
