[quote="Dillon"][quote="Lee"]Q) My head unit is losing its memory?
A) The Red and Yellow wires supply the Headunit with the following:

Constant low level power (yellow) - this is direct from battery and stays live even when your car is off, it allows your headunit to have enough power to keep its memory settings

Ignition feed (red) - When the car is running, the headunit is supplied with more power from ignition to power it for general use.

With many h/u, these two wires dont come set up the right way round for the 206, so your h/u will run off low level power when on, and may cut out when the volume is turned up (as it doesnt have enough power going to it). Also, as the memory feed is coming from ignition, when the car stops running, this feed stops too, and the headunit loses its memory settings. Switching these two wires around fixes the problem. Many new headunits come with connectors that allows you to easily change the wires around.

This is why that red wire is used but both red and yellow needs fuses and needs connecting to h/u

Q) My head unit won't turn on/off with ignition? 
A) If your car is Multiplexed. 
To elaborate the head unit will 'wake up' and 'shutdown' along side the BSI (Bulti-in system interface).

Therefore when unlocking the car the HU will turn on / display time etc as the unlocking wakes up the BSI to unlock the doors etc and when the BSI shuts off after 3 minutes the headunit will also follow suit. The shutdown of the BSI will be 3 minutes after activating the central locking / alarm / closing drivers door when getting out and locking it.

This doesn't affect a Pre-Plexed 206.[/quote]
