Wiring sound systems!

[83 WB_Ute]

There should be 3 wires to hook up, not counting speakers:

Eng on/Acc-Main Power Wire
Constant 12v-Memory
Earth


The wire for the head units memory, needs constant 12v. This lets it save your settings, so to speak.

Accessories is where the blinkers,wipers etc work, but the reds aren't lit up yet.

Is it a forwards turn on these for Acc? My Torana is a backwards turn for Acc and I couldn't tell you what my HX is. It's not something I've taken any notice of as it has no stereo lol


EDIT: Just read Taily's post and he pretty well said all that already lol

As it's working, I can only guess the memory wire doesn't have a constant power feed.

Yep, thats exactley right. I have all those wire hooked up.

- Eng On/Acc-Main: to the back of the fuse box
- Constant 12volt: to the back of the fuse box
- Earth: to the bottom of the cowel panel

Yeah, the only reason I can think why it is losing the settings is that when its turned off, or accessories are turned off there may be a short loss of power to that constant spot on the back of the fuse box...
I've tried it multiple times, put the CD in, set the clock, let it play for 5mins then turned it off. Then back on, and it will come back on with the saved settings sometimes and others not :/
Any ideas on that crazy one? lol

As for the position of accessories, yes it is backwards.. I have never noticed that before :/ hahaha
