It all goes back to how the stock amp operates. When the head unit terminates its output, it actually sends a mute signal to the amp. Now this is pure speculation as I have not opened up the stock amp, but I believe that the stock amp internally disconnects the ouputs on signal from the mute. The remote wire continues to stay powered on for several minutes after the key is removed, etc.

So my idea was to use the mute signal to break the remote connection by using a NC relay. The mute signal is around 6V, so I picked up a micro relay from "The Shack" to perform this function. Unfortunately, the mute output only provides 1.9mA of the needed 56ma required to operate the relay.
