welcome to torquecars mate.

Thanks for your reply. Ive got it fitted ok thanks. The problem I have is it is wired in via an iso cable but when I switch off the keys and switch on again everything is lost and I have to start again. Im not sure if I have to wire the power cable direct to the battery. Thanks for your help its apprecciated.
Sounds like you need it to be wired into the unswitched live.

double check the live and switched wires. although the ISO is suupposed to be standard certian manufactures revese the 2 power wires.
you should see bullet connectors on the red -live and yellow - switched. remove these and swap them over so its
red - yellow and
yellow - red
that should sort you out mate. if theres no connectors by a terminal block and cut the wires and swap them over BUT double check the polarity and votages on these wires wth a multimeter

the live goes stright to the fuse box.
the switched goes through the ignition relay before the fusebox
in other words one should show 12v all the time and the other should show
0v with the igntion off and 12v when its on

switched is the one that wont show any voltage on it until the ignigtion switch is turned on. ie there is a switch between the fusebox ( which is connected to the battery ) and the item being powered
think of your lights - you swtich them using the light switch.
the switched live is the same with the switch being the ignition key

if you want a picuture all try and draw a very basic one up tomorrow if i get a chance
Many thanks, at present it comes on when I swich on the ignition and off when the ignition is off. It just does not seem to keep things in the memory that is what makes me think it should have a live supply all the time. Im probably wrong though.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

ok very crude pic but hopefully it should give you the basic idea
the 2 numbers inicate the, bulbs in this case., number 1 will be on all the time number 2 will only be on when the switch is pressed.
in the case of the stereo number 1 would be pernament live - normally red and number 2 would be the switched live - normally yellow - with the switch being the ignition
you need any more help ill try and get some pics of the iso cables tomorrow or sunday

Right rip it out and look for the red and yellow wires - you should have connectors that you can swap over
Spot on PG. The power wires are the wrong way round.
