Headunit not turning off with ignition?

[Mikesps]

I've just purchased and fitted an alpine double din headunit into my mk4 golf but its not turning off when i turn ignition off and remove key  any ideas?

Most likely need to swap the red and yellow wires around (I think)

I know it involves swapping wires but not 100% sure of the colour

Have a search as it has been covered before

i had the same problem with mine they did need swapping over is there no 2 wires with plastic covers over 2 connection that look like they can be disconnected its what i had to do.

Lol knew it was something simple but I never had to do it myself.  The Pioneer h/u i had was a straight plug and play 

Just seen the pics of it - looks smart

Thanks  just need to get rid of the horrid wooden trim around it now

Could that be why you're now having a problem?
