if you did take this for next time...

PLUS you can wire them all up inside your house anytime you want and then simply plug it into the stock harness and your deck.

when you splice wires you run into alot of problems and its just not worth it.

^seconded^

Harness makes the whole process extremely easy.

I have the white/blue(constant) wire connected to the yellow(constant) and the yellow/red(ignition switch) connected to the red(switch) wire but it still doesnt hold the memory!! What is wrong guys!!!??

Please help me out
Thank you so much

if it correctly turns on and, off with the car but loses its memory, then the wire that you have hooked to constant is not a true constant. You most likely have the constant and ignition wires switched.

also if everything works correctly when the car is on, then all of the fuses are good so you don't need to worry about that.

first off ignore what the wire colors are supposed to be, go get a voltmeter and meter the supposed constant wire with the key in all different positions and make sure it always shows +12 v. and do the same for the supposed ignition wire, but make sure it only shows +12 v with the car in accessory and run. the one that only shows +12v when the car is on is ignition, and the one that always shows +12 v is the battery or constant wire.
