If there isn't a remote wire available I used a piece called the re-Q on her car for her factory head unit. It works great for tying in an aftermarket amplifier just by tapping off the factory speakers for signal. It has some sensor inside of it that knows when there's music and automatically turns on, as a bonus it has a remote wire output wire so when this thing turns on it can send a signal to an amplifier or whatever to turn on as well.
I got my girlfriend the 5 channel which has inputs for front, rear, and sub input as well as RCA outputs for the same. It also has a cool input on the 5 channel so anything you have that has a 3.5 head phone jack plug that you can run a cable off of you can input it into your factory system through the re-Q. I like it for running Pandora on my Blackberry Storm through her stereo since I haven't gotten her hooked up with Sirius yet. I'm considering not even doing satellite radio now though since I can run internet radio through her car for free.
I was able to buy it through reqsound.com, they have a pretty cool demo of what it does too. It somehow is able to have better bass than if you were to use just a simple high to low converter on an amplifier.
