How/where did you connect your wires to? If you can, take a pic of your setup so we can see what's going on...

Where did you hook up your remote wire?
Is your amp on all the time?

Why didn't you ground it to the grounding bolt in the back?

There is a bolt by the battery that you can ground things to. I'll take a pic in a minute.

the only way it would stay on is if the remote wire in hooked up to 12v constant instead of acc..

you have your acc wire hooked up to a constant source and that is why your headunit stays on. Look at post #31 for constant and switched source if you hook it up the right way acc and constant this might fix your problem. Or if you want to leave it the same get a switch and hook it up to your remote wire, that way you can turn it on/off. 2 fixes that might help.
