Immobiliser/Stereo issues

[ibiza99]

Hey all,

I fitted a new aftermarket Pioneer stereo to my mk2 (Cupra 8v) and every time I switch the ignition off I'm losing all the stored info on the stereo including tuned radio stations, audio settings etc. As you can imagine this is a real pain in the arse! I've had aftermarket stereos in before but this hasn't happened (not to this extent anyway) . I assume it's something to to with the immobiliser but I don't really know. Just wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I might be able to solve the problem or what else might be causing it? Cheers.

you old softie

if it's a new one installing as he said above it's the red/yellow to swap over and most modern kit comes with joiners already installed for just this scenario

basically your ignition and permanent lives are mixed up usual vw do it different

well after being told numerous times that i'm ..errr... sometimes difficult/confrontational/pi** taking, after reading other threads about bans i thought i'd be nice

 

[Fl@pper]

any excuse - ya really getting soft in your older age i bet

when you gonna start a thread about sticking a turbo in the yellow peril ? or is it being blown already ?

a blower? it'd ruin it. who could want more than 66bhp, 45 lb/ft torque & 9k rev limit
i do know someone who at present is putting an accord typeR 220 bhp engine in one...750kg kart!
