How do I connect the remote turn-on in a 1992 Honda Accord LX Wagon?  Someone said something about the powered antenna.  How do I connect to It?

Thanks

You have to be a bit more specific as to what you are trying to do so that we can help you out.
The "remote turn-on" is a Yellow/Red wire, you connect this wire to the remote on you head unit, usually it's a red wire.   
The power antenna wire is a Yellow/White wire, you connect this to the antenna wire on your head unit, usually it's a blue and white wire.
Use a DMM to check your wires to be sure.

OK my amp has only one input for remote turn on.  Is it possible to connect it to the powered antenna wire and how would this be done?  Just splice the wire and connect both the anttena and amp?  I would like to do this with out taking out the reciever.

Thanks

You are pretty much correct.  The head unit can usually support up to two components to turn on  before needing additional parts such as a relay.  In your case, just tap in to the yellow/white wire in the radio's harness and run this new wire back to the amp.

Should I use the yellow or the white wire?  Or are they both the same?

Thanks

Yes, they are. Yellow/Red is to switch on your head unit. Yellow/White is to swich on your antenna.

If you use the yellow/white wire to turn on an external amp it is possible that the amp will only turn on when the head unit's radio is being played (it kinda varies between radio models).  The way to figure out is to see if your antenna retracts whenever the tape or cd is playing.  If this happens, then you'll need to use the yellow/red wire to turn on an extrernal amp.

BTW when we say "yellow/red" it usually means a yellow wire with a red stripe.  similarly, a yellow/white wire would be a yellow wire with a white stripe.
