Head Unit 'loses' settings

Featured Replies

Hello folks

I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me with this small, but annoying problem with my JVC KD - R411 head unit.

I have a Fabia vRS (registered March 2007) and removed the factory fitted Symphony CD radio recently to fit the head unit above. I got a wiring harness with the head unit and had to use it to install the stereo.

The stereo settings are 'lost' each time the ignition is switched off, although the radio stations that I saved remain? It is my preferred settings that keep being reset i.e. the clock, fader / bass / balance, and dimmer settings. I have tried the reset button on the unit but that seems to have no affect.

I take it the problem stems from something to do with the wiring / wiring harness. I would welcome some advice however on how to tackle the problem.

Cheers

Ewan

Should be two cables at the back of the unit that you need to swap over.

On my Kenwood they were yellow and red and yellow goes to red, red goes to yellow.

Thank you Yohan

Do you mean the 'red and yellow' cables that are present on the 'plug' that goes directly into the head unit?

Thanks
