Changed OEM radio but the new one looses memory after ignition is turned off!

That is to say, any stations it has memorised, along with BASS and TREBLE settings, etc, all dissapear / are wiped clean when ignition is turned off.

I've checked the power cables and the RED cable (permanent power) is where it is supposed to be at (on my radio the pin is classified as "+12V (memory)" ) or N. 7

The ORANGE cable (Ignition) is also where it should be at (on my radio the pin is classified as "+12V (Ignition Key)" or N. 4

I wonder if I should swop orange and red around to see what happens.... is that wise?

PS what is the Ignition cable / pin good for anyway? Should I perhaps DISCONNECT it?

Thanks

swap them..

Ok will try... Will let you know if stereo melts!

Just joking!

i had that problem when i had mine fitted at halfords, i went back and they put in a plug adapter about £4 sorted it out

Yup that worked

Thanks
