Hi,
I have just bought a 1992 SWB jap import and I replaced the old radio with my SONY CDX-M800 but each time I remove the key from the ignition the radio loses its memory as if its receiving no power whatsoever when the engine isnt running. Any ideas greatly appreciated!

Somebody onhere will be able to give you the wiring diagram for the stereo - alternatively search for stereo AND wiring in the search facility at the top.

the problem is that you have not connected the permanent live to the back of the stereo - this will ensure that radio stations etc are permanently stored.

i think the jap wiring is opposite to ours

if you do a search ( red at the top ) there is a wiring diagram somewhere for the radio. or have a look at the wires on your new stereo and put a permanant live feed into the live wire that feeds the memory

theres usualy a red wire and a yellow wire on the adapter harnes - swop em round as ones perminent feed & 1 is ignition feed ( I had to do this to a few radios ) might be worth checking with a test light though as I'm writting this from memory

sony radios have a bullet connector on the harness to allow you to swop the perm and switched live this is a concession to the German market swap these and it will be fine
