bought a flip out screen cd player from a friend and i see it work, i plug it in and it didnt memorise any radio stations.. so i spoke to a few people and they said connect it to a live now it memorises until i start the engine and then it resets. i have also noticed that my sub only works with the ignition on, and cuts off when the engine is running, we havnt stop scratching our heads, can you help?????????

When you say you connected it to a live, do you mean you re-arranged to red and yellow wires?

As for your sub, it should turn on with your head unit. All I can think of is a bad earth or its not getting enough power so maybe your alternator isn't upto it.

i rearrange it then i joined the yellow and the red togever with a bigger fuse, my sub comes on no problem with the cd player on with the just the ignition but as soon as i start it the cd player resets and the sub cuts off

the bloke who helped knew what he was doing coz when i tried he said i was lucky i never caused a fire, lol, me and electrics dont mix lol, so he sorted it out but cant figure out why its reseting

dunno then mate thats me and electrics lol someone will kno on ere surely u mite have to wait a few days tho n keep bumpin

whats the make of radio first thing for a amp or sub nomal will have a big cable ton earth that is connected to the body and a big red wire from the batt (will need a fuse)not from the RADIO AT ALL they can pull any thing from 20 amps to 60 amps or more this important ...or your burn the main wire for the radio

Should have maybe Blue and white or just blue 12+ volt remote turn on to amp this to switch amp on

on the radio if its iso plugs should have a yellow

for the memory thing you need to run a perminant live to the battery

Need space and time and I'll crack on with Jams si!

Catch me on Facebook as I'm rarely on here.

what i have noticed is the cd player memorises where it last was on the song.
also the sub works sometimes????

Well most aftermarket headunits which get fitted into Fords require the red and yellow wires swapping around,
eg:
Headunit Red -> Car Yellow
Headunit Yellow -> Car Red
