new radio resets when power is off
 

Hi everyone.

I have a small hiccup on my quest for better sound. I installed dash speakers a couple of weeks ago, and last night swapped out the factory head unit for a new Pioneer with bluetooth, USB, etc.. It sounds pretty good but I miss the factory look of the Becker.

The problem is the radio resets/loses memory when the ignition is turned off. I wired the factory harness as directed so I'm not sure what is going on. I watched a Youtube video where a guy suggested swapping the red and yellow wires connections between the harness and radio din. I'm somewhat afraid to do this.

Any ideas?

You need to reverse the red and yellow wire. The red is the switched power and the yellow is constant. I.made the same mistake.

Thanks! I'll give it a go tonight.

+1 for the solution. I had the same issue when I installed my JVC head unit last year.

I'm installing a double din Pioneer with a Eurosport kit. Will I need to do this as well?

Yes you will
