Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral ICE HEADUNIT LOSING SETTINGS

Everytime i turn my car off the headunit loses radio stations and settings?

anyone help as to why?

what you need then is a permanant live to the radio's memory mate <img border="0" alt="[does this help]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions041.gif" />

just confuse dme now

im **** with things like that

have you stored the station when you set them?

if you have a sony explode like mine then you should have a yellow wire that comes from the back of the radio, if so connect that to a permmant live and the red wire to a switched live. i have used my ignition live so when i start the car my radio comes on.
hope this helps matey

on the standard head unit wiring there should be 2 wires a red and yellow, 95% of the time these wires have bullet connectors inline, so just swap them around so you have a red going to a yellow and vice versa, try storing some radio stations and then switch it off and back on again.

If after that you still having problems give me a shout and i can sort it for you. You can email me at

This is the sam eproblem I have had with my cauxhalls, as every1 else as said switch the yellow and red wire to create a permanant live to the hu.
there is usually a wiring harness on the iso connector were you can unplug all the wires and swap them round.
good luck, but honestly its dead easy if I did it.

Some Vauxhall's require both switch and permanent wires to be connected in to one

find the red wire an if its got a plug in the middle of the wire put the yellow wire in the plug or vice versa if ya get me
