Help - Stereo settings keep resetting

[DrCactus]

Hey folks - hopefully someone can help me... I installed a double din into my car and everything seemed great... until this morning I start the car up and the stereo unit turns on and works but all the settings and setup I did last night seem to be gone.... it reset back to factory (lighting configuration, EQ settings, etc). Any idea if I did something wrong during install that which cause this ???


Another question - Has anyone ever bought a 7" double din Android, Touchscreen, Nav, GPS, etc stereo system from China - the China no-name ones for like $200us or so.... they seem to be an amazing deal price wise.... any one try them ??

Thanks Everyone

The wires for constant power(yellow), and accessory (red) need to be swapped in the harness.

I had it happen to me when I installed mine as well. If you got a wiring harness, you might want to double check that, because the color coded wires might be wrong. Like said above, switch the constant power wire with the accessory wire.

alm001, has it right. This just happened to me, when I put my single din, and tablet in. I ended up crossing the red and yellow wires to fix it. As for the Double Din units form China, my brother had one in his car. It was horrible!! He took it out and sold it. It is why I ended up putting a Nexus 7 tablet in the car, instead of one of those. Not to mention you can get a Nexus 7 for around $80 on ebay.
