Ive just bought a Golf MK4 and installed a sound system but when i turn the engine off and take the keys out of the ignition the AMP doesnt turn off. The only way i can get the amp to turn off is by disconnecting the remote lead but this is a pain and if i leave the amp on it will flatten my battery, does anyone know why this happens, please help, thanks.

It sounds like there is a problem with your headunit. If you can grab a multimeter, measure the output of the remote out wire from the headunit when the car is off and see if it's putting out 12vdc. If it is, you're going to need to have the headunit checked. Also...not to be ignorant, but did you hook it up to the blue/white wire coming off the headunit?
