When I set it to my settings and turn off the engine for a while, my radio settings reset... but when I turn it off then turn it back on straight away, the radio settings are set to how I set it.

why does it reset when the engine is off for a while? how can I fix this also?

another question is, my clock is working (not radio clock), the clock built, visibility is very poor. I can barely see it... dark orange colou??

red and yellow wires need swapping... sortedddd

need new bulbs for your MFD, cant remember which bulb type but someone will be able to tell you... You can then just put off the centre console and get to them that way!

The screws are torx 20, use the correct size torx bit, using an allen key on torx fixings ruins the screwhead.

As for the red & yellow wire swop, its been covered many times on the forum, its not rocket sicence Wink

it is rocket science, it feels like the only way to swap it is to pull out both wires... causing damage. I'm confused what you mean:

Those fecking massive rubber coated bullet connectors with the red and yellow wire.

Swap them around.

Or were you genuinely going to pull them out of the crimps Razz
