Whalfedale WCD 712

Hi,
I have just installed a Whalfedale WCD 712 and set the clock and radio
stations but it cant seem to remember what I just input, i.e. when I turn
the engine off and on again the clock goes back to 12:00 and the preset
radio stations are lost. Anyone have this cd player and know what I might be
doing wrong?
Cheers,
Tim

you've not got the power wires the correct way round,

the permanant live is connected to the accessory live position on the
stereo, and vise versa, so when the ignition goes off, all power is removed
from the stereo, and it looses power to keep the memories and clock etc.

the handbook should have told you about different cars having the permanent
and ignition switched power wires in differnet positions on the iso
connectors.. VW do this mainly, but as VW controll so many cars nowadays,
skoda, seat, audi and so on will be the same,

Thanks for the reply. I dont have a handbook for the stereo cos I got it
second hand. Where will I find these wires so I can switch them? The car is
a Vauxhall Cavalier.
Cheers.

All being well you should have a red and a yellow cable coming from the
stereo. These are the two cables to be switched (they're usually on bullets
these days but I can't say for sure on a Whalfdale unit).

Hi, just looked at the wire set-up, the red and yellow cable coming from the
stereo match to red and yellow wires going to the car, so is it safe to
change these wires round and have opposite matching colours?

I've just tried but I cant get the 2 wires out of their holder. Is there an
easy way?
