bought a secondhand sony headunit and wired it up. its all working and sounds great but one problem is that its not retaining any memeory, such as the clock. it would always reset to 1:00 after i turn off and start up the car.

it had an existing pioneer headunit so the wiring swap over was easy but maybe it was done wrong from the beginning and i just didnt notice (i hardly used the existing stereo)

from my brief google search it seems that its an issue with the acc wire and the 12v wire. the 12v is supposed to provide constant power while the car is off.

strange, could the headunit be faulty? or an issue with the wiring?

I'd check the wiring, very easy to do if you have a multimeter, or just a bulb and some wire.

What colour is the acc and what is the 12v? Standard bmw plug has been cut out previously for the pioneer unit.

edit: nevermind, so red/white is the 12v and purple/white is the switched power. got it. will have a go now.

edit 2: all fixed yay

Rear bumper has now been painted. Boot spoiler has been removed and waiting on the lip spoiler to be painted.

What to do about the spoiler holes though?

Pics to come..
