Brice,
First, check with a voltmeter that you are actually getting power to the amp's main power input and ground wires. If so, then most likely your problem is the remote turn on lead itself.
It seems that most people, including myself, have not been able to get the Amp Turn On connection from the DIN to trigger an external amp to turn on. In my car, I could confirm that a 12 volt trigger did turn on in the DIN connection, but apparently it had insufficient amperage to actually trigger the amp. So I tapped into the +15 wire going into the head unit. (See the pin outs on top of the head unit when you pull it from the dash.) This wire has +12 volts (for up to 15 amps) whenever the car ignition is on. Do not use the Antenna Trigger, because it is only on with the radio, not the CD player. And do not use the wire marked +30, as this is on all the time, even when the ignition is off, so it will kill your battery.
Hope this helps,
SteveH
