grahamc Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 I am assuming this is a wiring issue, but figured I would ask here before I rip the dash apart... Car is a 2002 jap import... has an Alpine headunit and the headunit resets itself (losing all settings) every time the ignition is switched off. Thoughts?

BulletMagnet Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 There are usually two 12v wires going to the HU, one permanent and one on ignition. permanent feed usually for power to retain memory. May be as simple as switching the two power feeds around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulletMagnet Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 Usually, there is a fuse on the permanent feed on the HU harness behind the HU (white plastic thing, opens bajonet style) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted December 17, 2013 Author Share Posted December 17, 2013 thanks, will start with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deklan Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yeah likely causes is as above, on the alpine headunit if they have been fitted with the alpine loom, they normally have a bullet connection to allow you to change the ign wire and perm live to resolve this issue.
