Title: head unit problem
Post by: steve85 on 15 February 2009, 11:01: ive just bought a sony cdx-gt630ui head unit and fitted it myself. the only problem is everytime i take the key out of the ignition the memory is lost on the radio and all the settings i change. noticed that there is a two pin plug that went into the cd player of the old double din gamma system but no place to plug it in on the sony head unit. is this the problem or have i overlooked somthing.

any advice welcome
