Title: stero wont store stations
Post by: crankycalf on 31 August 2009, 21:08

Hi quick question, does anyone know why a car radio would not store the channels? I programme them in and they store fine, turn off my engine turn my engine back on and all the channels i've stored have gone, anyone any ideas?

sounds like a  permenant live problem. 
there are two wires on the stereo, yellow and red.
one should have a constant 12v from the battery and the other should have a switched 12v from the ignition switch..
try swapping them to see if that cures it.

ye thats all it should be mate, i had the same problem this week and ive just sorted it. If not have a read through the instructuion manual because sometimes you have to program them in if its an upgraded head unit  :smiley:

good luck :smiley:
