headunit - loosing its radio settings
« on: 14 April 2010, 11:54 »
Hi,

My gf has recently purchased a mk4 golf gti, iv connected her cd player to it as it didnt have one but everytime you turn the car off then on, it looses its settings.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mac

I assume its an aftermarket stereo you've fitted?

switch the red and yellow wires around on the loom

You just swap the bullet connectors in the live feed from the back of the head unit  :smiley:
