there are two power wires from your car loom and two from your headunit. They are usually red and yellow. The red is a perm live wire which means that there is ALWAYS power going to it. The yellow is an ignition live which means there is only power going to it when your IGNITION IS ON. You need to join the YELLOW and RED wires from the HEADUNIT together and join them BOTH to the RED wire from the CARS LOOM. This will sort your problem. obviously consult your HU instructions to find out what colours the LIVE power and the IGNITION power wires are.
