have you checked your earth cable for the amp it needs to be hocked up to somthing solid e.g a seat older or seat belt holder that might solve you problem it did in my old car if not i would suggest re-laying all the cables down the door trim on either side to stop any interference. also just trying hocking the amp up to the battery to see if the green light comes on if not your amp is knacked

Hope this helps mate

you sure the remote lead is connected right on the HU? think i did something like that on my last setup.
all leads secure and tight, bat conection etc.
