Is this the headunit, or my car

[schnipps]

Installed a JVC KDG-722 today and all is fine apart from when you turn the ignition off the headunit loses its memory, so everytime i start the car and put the unit on all the radio and last track and equaliser settings are back to factory default. Could it be the wiring for the car or the HU as the aura i had before was fine?

you need to swap the red and yellow leads on the back of the hu they should have some sort of spade connectors.

do you mean leads that are on the iso connectors? sorry im completely clueless could you be more specifc??? thanks

Yeah just swap them around one is a permanant live and the other is an ignition live

Just about to install the same HU into my Ibiza, am I likely to get the same problem in the Ibiza as Schipps had in his leon?? I guess I'd find out when I turn the ignition on and off but if anyone knows I'd be grateful as it'd be better to get it right first time!!!

Cheers guys!

its not really much of a problem loony, program one station in, turn the ignition off and remove the key for a minute then turn it back on, if the station is still there then all is welll.

Slightly different question but when I recently installed my parrot car kit I obviously had to remove the radio (standard aura), and when I replaced it I obviously needed to enter the code but all the radio memory (presets, settings etc) were still there....was surprised as I expected the disconnection to wipe the settings......

Hmm weird. I thought it was ok - the preset stations seem to remain in the memory when I switch off the ignition (eg overnight) BUT it does keep coming up with the demo mode even though I turned it off, and it forgets which song on the USB or CD it was playing.

I guess I do have to swap the wires after all!!

Hi, I selling my car, so im putting back the standard aura HU. The radio works fine. However, everytime i remove the key from the ignition and then put key back in the HU asks for the security key.
Its no longer working without the ignition key. I have check all the cables and all are plugged in apart from one blue cable. Can't see where to plug that in. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I think that is a setting on the hu you can choose to have to put the code in every time the ignition is switched on you should find it in the menu, i may be totally wrong though

 

[dramosuk]

Hmm, you wouldnt happen to know which setting or how i can dind it out. Couldn't see anything in the radio manual.

I think it's something to do with the two wires in the car loom needing to be switched over, the memory wire and power supply wires Need to be swapped. Check with a multimeter which ones are which and if they correspond to the wiring on the HU loom. It's certainly the case on Audi wiring and peeps just swap the wires around (red with yellow stripe and the yellow with red stripe on Audi's) .

HTH.
