Alpine turn on pop

[regal81455]

I recently upgraded to a new Pioneer wt7600nex and everything is great. Used all the maestro stuff to incorporate the factory harnesses, features and antennas, etc...

Unfortunately, I am getting a turn on pop thru the speakers. I tried installing a 15 sec time delay relay on the remote wire ( blue w/ white stripe ) but it didn't solve the problem.

My next thought was maybe the remote from the factory is only a 5v signal. Can anyone confirm this? I've thought maybe wiring some resistors to drop the V from 12v to 5v might be an option but would rather not go through all this if someone knows for sure what the factory remote wire voltage.

As a side note, I've noticed that if I turn the key to run, let the radio boot up, and then crank/start the truck the pop does not occur. Not really sure what that means but it's got to mean something...

Any help would be greatly appreciated-

No one knows if the factory turn on voltage for the amplifier is 12v or 5v??

You could use a multi-meter on it

I could and would but I'd have to have the OEM head unit and it's gone lol

Gonna give'r a whirl tonight anywhoo - if it burns up the input I guess I'll have an excuse to scrap the whole system and go ol skool on it.

FIXED IT!! Time delay relay was set to 14s and after timing it out again turns out the pop was occurring at 15s go figure!!

Set the time delay to 20s and all is good now!! Thank goodness! That was starting to really irk me.
