Hi, just fitted this:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/4-Single-Din-I...item45f1885905
using a standard iso adapter, everything working fine until i turn off the ignition where the unit looses all memory.
Could this just be crossed wires or would it be worth trying another iso adapter?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance

On the assumption that your car originally had a Harmony radio, the purple/pink wire on the original loom carries the battery positive supply which should maintain the memory. I guess it's not connected at present?

When I have installed a parrot system into my 75 I need to swicth the red and yellow leads. The yellow lead is I believe the constant battery power not the red lead.

Thanks for the reply's, the purple/pink wire ran to the red 12v cable in the iso adapter so I swaped the red cable for the yellow cable and it is now keeping memory.
Thanks again for your help!
