#1: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 8:27 am ---- 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??

standard or aftermarket head unit ?
if its after market you need to swap your constant live and your ignition live over

Bulb cost 25p from local auto spares
Take the top bit of the centre consol of undo the screws and the bulb twists and pulls out the back of the clock unit

Thanks guys!
#6: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: Norvvv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sat May 14, 2011 9:10 am ---- Swap the red and yellow wires on the back of the HU.
#7: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 9:48 am ---- 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!
#8: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: dumdum0910, Location: letchworthPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 9:58 am ---- if you car is pre-plexed - everything shuts off after 3 mins you will have to splic in to a constant live. you can get this from the hazard switch or clock display .
#9: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 10:12 am ---- wow it seems quite complicated to switch the red and yellow wires.... hmm? It must be something else...
also to get the clock unit out do I need alan key?! because I'm sure I got correct size but not going in.. ahh.

Are you serious? How in anyway is that complicated.

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
#13: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 10:39 am ---- 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:
#14: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sat May 14, 2011 10:41 am ---- Those bullet connections are put in the loom for a reason
#15: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 10:55 am ---- 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
#16: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sat May 14, 2011 1:09 pm ---- I feel like an idiot, it took me 2 hours to do the clock. It was a true nightmare, when it was all connected the clock would just appear then disappear, I had to use tape to stretch out the wires at an angle. Yes, circuit was vulnerable... but got there in the end
Anyway... can someone use paint and edit imageshack.us/m/62/163...011463.jpg to tell me exackly what to do? Please... right now I need a drink from this.
Thank you.
#17: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 6:23 am ---- Swop the red & yellow wires at the bullet connectors
Unplug both.
Plug the red wire in to the yellow one.
Then do the same again with the red / yellow wires left over.

#19: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: Norvvv, Location: WiltshirePosted: Sun May 15, 2011 7:27 am ---- That ^ hahaha!
#20: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 9:46 am ---- Omg it was that simple... what! I tried doing exackly that before but thought this can't be it as you need to really pull it out with pressure.
Thanks alot, settings save now
#21: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 11:52 am ---- Well I need a new clock now, when I turn off the engine for 5 mins then on again, the clock doesn't turn on so I have to open it up and push something towards the circuit. This somehow triggers it on and not when I turn on the battey with the key?
Circuit problem?? Need new clock?
#22: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: MrBSI, Location: What's it to you? ? ?Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 11:55 am ---- Preplexed 206 like this, the displays always go wrong
You got just a clock or multifunction display?
There is a known issue with the solder joint on the pcb inside the multi function display
#23: Re: Radio keeps resetting Author: karimali831, Location: EnglandPosted: Sun May 15, 2011 1:30 pm ---- I have a single display clock, knowing that I need a new one am I able to purchase a multi function display or can I only get that single one? I ask because it is rare to find these nowadays...
