I have the EU standard audio system on my BMW E60 520i ( 2 front door speakers , 2 underseats woofers, 2 back speakers ) no amplifier in the trunk. I mounted aftermarket amp and I need a remote wire and I can't find where to get it. If someone can help me I will apreciate it. Tank you.

Can you please update your signature to tell us what car and options you have. Depending on where you mounted your amp the best on to use are the lighter socket power lines. But these come on only when you switch on the ignition. There are other Tow Bar power lines that can be used but then these are on while the car is 'awake'. So it really depends how you want to play this.

If you really want to play this by the book then you can get the remote line from the HU directly. While you are there you might as well pull some line level outputs to your amp too.

The ideea is that when I swich off the key I want the amp to turn off.
ok...but if I make this by the book ..where I can find the right pins at the HU coz i don't know..... , can you guide me a bit or you have some pictures ?
and another thing ...I have the 12V plug in the trunk but it is not conected ..maybe if I can connect that at the trunk fuse box I will find remote too, can someone help me with this too please ?

You really need to get your hands on a WDS DVD if you are going to attempt all this. Its all very simple but you will need to help yourself. I certainly wont risk telling you what to do because this is another instance where following the WDS proved to be wrong i.e. the socket lighter connections to the rear fuse box.

run the wire to ur fuse box n place the wire under the fuse for the cig.lighter (wrap it around the prongs) ... add a circut fuse so it does not blow...
