Post this in the Electrical section and you will have your answer in no time.

My wifes does the same, its something to do with the permanent live connection wo it, if you swap over the red and yellow push connections behind the unit then it should work (didnt on mine but it does on most apprently!)

piece of piss to sort out...

you have a perm live and an ignition live yellow and red wires on the back of the stereo, they have either put the ignition live into the perm live socket, together ( which is quite normal as they have a double bullet socket to do this on most stereos) or they have the wires the wrong way round...
