you cannot properly install a system without a good remote turn on. if he doesn't want the factory radio removed for a half hour he doesn't want a sound system.
only bypass to this is ghetto (especially for a almost new car) - a switch at the dash. turn the switch on last and off first every time. you can give it power from ignition instead of battery so they will always be off when the car is off. if the amps are left on (even with no music) they will drain the battery.
take the car to a professional installer if your "client" doesn't have enough confidence in you to pull a factory radio. i can't see how he would prefer you jerry-rig the stereo.

sorry, his dad is a dipshit and is making the installation less safe. make sure you protect all wires under the car and secure them well. also, you MUST provide a switch for the remote (controlled as i mentioned above). just wiring it to a fuse tap will result in a turn off and/or turn on thump which will damage the speakers and possibly drain the battery (depending on which fuse you tap).
you should refuse to do the work, you aren't impressing anyone with any knowledge or background. you will not impress him when it thumps, hums, and makes noise.

x2. If he dosen't want it done right I wouldn't do it at all. Like keep_hope_alive said you should refuse to do the work.

i'm not trying to be harsh, but his dad obviously doesn't understand how a car audio system is supposed to be installed and function. it's not uncommon for people to be nervous about pulling dash pieces off of a car, but seriously, they have screws for a reason...

Running wires under the car is not always the best idea, especially power wire. There are lots of debris on the road that could possibly bounce up under there and cut the wire. Like kha said, make sure you protect the wire under the car, maybe with some wire loom.
