Question
QUESTION: I have a 2004 Dodge Neon SXT with the stock am/fm/cd player in it. I am going to be adding an amp and subwoofers soon, what I need is to know which wire on the stock stereo to tap into for the remote wire for the amp. I have seen some people say blue/white, but that seems fairly generic, is that right for my needs?
ANSWER: in the factory plug the remote wire is solid blue this is for the electric antenna


---------- FOLLOW-UP ----------

QUESTION: UH, the Dodge Neon SXT doesn't have an electric antenna..and I already found the answer somewhere else. its the red wire with a white stripe .....stereo ingnition wire.

Answer
yes there is a electric antenna wire it is also use for the infinity amplifier and  it is on the back of the radio  
dod stop using electric antennas in 1996 but the cable is there also the cable you found is the wrong cable your amplifier is always going to be on  turn off the radio and you will see that the amplifier is still on
good luck
