radio constantly reseting

my radio resets to the default settings every time i start the car and i dont have any idea what could be the problem. i have the power for the radio wired to the accessory slot on the kick panel and the weird thing is that if i turn the car off for 5 minutes or so then turn it back on then the radio wont reset.

its only when the car has been off for a while its resets. has anyone else run into this or have any idea how i can fix this. also i tried getting a need head unit thinking that was the problem and its not…

help please…

You probably wired it wrong.

How is the main power wire and ignition wire of the stereo hooked up?

Main power wire of the stereo should go to a constant 12V+.

Ignition wire should go to a switched by key ignition source.

o i see…

so i need to put 2 wires on the spaces above the kick panel? now i only have 1 connected to the accessory slot. so i need to rout another wire to the panel for the constant 12v?

the way it was wired originally was that i plugged it into the constant and i would have to unplug it every time i got out of the car and plug it in every time i got in…

What is the model of the stereo?

What are the colors for the constant 12v+ and ignition wires on the stereo harness?

And technically you don’t need to run any wires to the kick panel. All stock stereo wires you need are behind the center console where the radio is at.

Ditto the above, you should not need to wire to the fuse box.
