Can anybody tell me which wires need to be swapped around so that the headunit keeps it's memory and have you got any instructions on how to do this as I haven't done it before!

Thanks

I had to wires with connectors on them. One yellow and one red. I just undid the connectors and connected them to the opposite colour.

So instead of:

Yellow to yellow and red to red it was

Yellow to red and red to yellow.

Hope that makes sense!

Cheers Daz for the info above....
Spent 2 hrs blowing fuse's until I saw this thread.
No way to guess about switching wires... I assumed
it would be just red/red yellow/yellow... Bl**dy Wiring!

Cheers

This is because Vauxhall and some other manufacturer's dont follow the complete ISO standard and the ignition and permanent lives are reversed.
