Right ever since iv owned my k11 and fitted my head unit into it i cant seem to figure out the memory wire issue..Everytime i turn my ignition on i have to do all settings on my head unit again..also Everytime i turn the ignition on my clock resets to 1:00 i'm using a ISO lead iv wired the head unit up to other cars and never had memory issues what so ever i don't get what i'm doing wrong here.. am i missing something out?
Headunit Memory Wire

I had the same problem when fitting my head unit. Make sure that the unit is connected to a permanent live, so it retains settings even when the accessory circuit is off. Most units have two wires (usually red and yellow), which can be switch around to do this. Check the manual before you do this though, yours might be different.

yeah i'v tried switching them around but its still the same

yeah i'm using the proper k11 iso harness..i know on the iso its yellow but what colour is the memory wire from the stereo loom coming from the car?
OP
OP
yeah im also using a pioneer,kinda old though its a cassette player its a keh p8800r maybe if i connect the yellow memory wire from the head unit to the memory wire that comes from the loom direct? like you said maybe the wires on the iso are mixed up

haha not to worry i'l give it a shot today and will keep you updated, that's if it doesn't explodeBy all means give it a go, just don't blame me if your car explodes
OP
OP
its not the head unit as when wiring it up into my old mans rav 4 its working fine and the memory fine on it..i just dont get what it can be
OP
OP
aah let it be, iv had enough of looking at them wires and fiddling with them lol il live with it
ive changed mine and hold memory + got a haynes manual what one you got an early or late k 11?
like where the cd stops and radio tuning too
OP
OP
Mines a N reg
red black permanent live(yellow on after market), blue black ignition switch live (red on after market) ,black is earth (same)
oh and other makes of cars some times dont have either ignition it permanent live but also there may be a wire your unsure of that could be connected to the lights , this dims the radio ligts for night time driving
ilumation on the micra is red and blue btw
OP
OP
yep it it does indeed
show me a pic of the wires on the back
did you follow the wire colours i said about? also you can check the radio to see what it needs for memory as some have been known to swap about , simply switch on ignition plug both lives in so radio comes on , then take one wire off at a time to see which one keeps memory when radio is off and switched back on some times a clock will show up when its on memory with ignition off
