Not Saving Settings - Pioneer
I'm having a problem with a new
Pioneer DEH-2800MP It fails to save custom EQ and radio station settings once the key has been removed. Has anyone had this problem before? Not necessarily with this particular model. The car itself is a Vauxhall Corsa 1998 Diesel - I'm only new to driving about a month, but this stumps me. I would have thought the radio unit itself would contain memory for settings and not rely on a steady stream of battery power? |

no, it needs a steady stream of battery power. There is no internal rechargeable battery in head units. There should be two power wires hooked up for the head unit, one that's constant +12v, and the other that is wired to an accessories wire that only comes on when the vehicle is turned on. sounds like you didn't hook up the first one. -- KU40 |

That's the thing though, it's - what I think you call - an ISO connection. The box connector. I will look into this though, thanks for the right direction. |

I tried one time for my boat, to wire in a big capacitor, because I didn't want to keep power connected. It worked. I forget how long the storage time was. greg |

This is a common problem and 99% of the time it is because both the power
wire (that SHOULD be connected to the battery) and the ignition wire (which tells the HU to turn on when the key is turned) are BOTH connected to the ignition wire. This is why all the presets are lost when the key is turned off. As alreadt stated, a HU DOES NOT have any internal battery and MUST have a constant connection to the battery to retain presets, tome control settings, etc. MOSFET "Desireless" wrote in message ...

I just swapped over the red and yellow (ignition and constant) wires and everything works now as it should. I re-searched Google using wire colour terms and found the same question/answer, so as I said - thanks for pointing me in the right direction, i'm well chuffed now! |
