There should be no problem accomplishing this. Just need a way for the remote wire to turn the amp on which can be done by a simple switch.

The only thing is it will sound worse off than a stereo for various reasons.
1) the rca output on a stereo is a stronger/clearer signal
2) 3.5mm jacks are low quality connections
3) It would leave less control over adjusting the sound to make it sound as best as possible

IMO i would buy a radio with a 3.5mm jack and usb port. The usb port would allow you to connect an iphone to charge itself and play music at a higher quality. The USB would also allow for music to be streamed from a flash drive.
