I would say you definately do need this! Otherwise your amp will stay on even when you turn your radio off! So if you are driving with your radio off, then your amp will be permanently on. You want it so that your amp will only come on when your radio is on. Have you got the adaptor? I had to get an adaptor on my last car (XR2i)

The remote turn on to the amp will come off the deck to the ISO plug. Providing you haven't got an exceedingly cheap and cheerful stereo it will have preouts and the remote lead

mate if you aint got a remote lead for the amp...then run a perminant lead to it with a switch in the front so you can switch the amp on and off whenever u want to listen to it
