smokeumtires Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Is it hooked up right? Like the yellow wire in the back to constant power, and the red to ACC?? If they're mixed up everything resets as soon as you turn the car off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTS909 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Check your wiring again.

If they're mixed up everything resets as soon as you turn the car off? First thing I thought of too. Check these wires and make sure the yellow has power at all times (even when the key is off).

evermaxx Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Its hooked up right, but the red+yellow are all connected.. Jensen told me to hook it up like this. Only way it would turn on. & Nothing else resets, still have my presents and EQ are the same as when I turn it off.

smokeumtires Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wait red and yellow shouldn't be connected together.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Lane Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) You need to find two wires behind your head unit. One of them is going to have constant power and the other will only turn on when the key is on or in the acc position. The yellow should have constant power. The red should be connected to the wire that is only on when the key is on or in the acc position. You can use a DMM to locate the correct wires by connecting the DMM black lead to vehicle ground and connect the DMM red lead to the existing wires that went to your old head unit to locate the constant and switched wires. Note: its usually easiest to buy the wiring harness for your vehicle from Crutchfield of your local Car audio supply store so you can just hook it up to the harness and plug it in the factory wiring. Then you can also reinstall the old head unit if you ever sell the vehicle. Edited November 9, 2011 by J-Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evermaxx Posted November 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Wait red and yellow shouldn't be connected together.. Yeah.. same thing I thought. When I first hooked it up it didnt power on. So I gave them a call & they told me too wire it like that. The past owner had it installed like this too. And CarToys did the install.

Was the old head unit hooked up the same way? Did you have any problems with any settings on the previous head unit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
