Switched the red and yellow round but now im getting a constant live, cd player pulses on and off with key out. And when ignitions on theres no sound?
Its a goodmans headunit btw, only dealt with pioneers and alpine before and never had any problems like this with switching wires

you should have, if you've had a vauxhall.
You have to swap the yellow and red wires. One wire is live, one is ignition live and on vauxhalls they're back to front.

make sure the ariel is connected properly, this can cause loss of memory also

Aerial Doesnt work when connected, going to try a new adapter on it (aerial) puzzled as to how sounds disappeared if im only adjusting live and memory cables? Joined using sugar cubes then spaded incase the connection wasnt good enough

i had a jvc unit with 2 positions for the fuse on the back of it, one was for constant and was one switched, didnt notice it at first and tried switching the red and yellow wires and it made it click on and off really fast

Il have a look, cant say i noticed anything. Positive has a fuse inline which i noticed, well theres a housing the wire goes into which i presume is for a fuse
