Hi
A few days ago I fitted a cd player in my k11, bought a harness from halfords to connect it straight up and earthed to the chassis as instructed on this site. Radio works fine, except after the ignition has been switched off for more than 3 or 4 hrs approx (ie overnight) all the settings on the stereo go back to factory and it loses its presets. there is a security light flashes on it but when it has reset the security light is on permanent instead of flashing.
Obviously the unit is getting the permanent live connection otherwise the security light wouldn't flash.
My dad thinks it's probably a faulty head unit, what do you guys think?
My fiance's uncle who owns a garage double checked the wiring for me and said it's fine, he also said that shouldn't be the problem anyway cos I bought a connector from halfords to do it.
Thanks in advance people.
