The memory is lost because the permanent live and ignition live is the wrong way round,the red and yellow wire,on most aftermarket stereos they normally have bullet connectors in the wiring so you can swap them easily. as for the sub have you got the remote lead connected?(thin blue wire) and has it got a good earth?

i know this is an old thread, and i have the same problem but... i changed the red and yellow around, and it still loses all the settings :/

does this mean theres no power going to the constant 12v?

This is NOT genius.

 

It's called reading the damned instructions.

Sounds like you have no permanent live. Can you double check it with a multimeter?

 

And think DrSarty was referring to the Original Poster, should state in the headunits instructions that yellow / red wires may need to be swapped if radio loses stations.
