Sony Stereo fitting

[ben3003]

Guys,

I am recently the prowd owner of a 52' Ibiza and tyhe forst thing that I wanted to do was put my Sony MP3 Stereo into it. SO i went off to Halfords (sorry if that is a swear word on this forum) and paid 30 quid!!! for the adapter. Plugged it all in and it worked. But no how I want it to!

Whenever i take the key out the egnition the player basically restarts back to factory settings loosing all the radio presets and position on the CD.

It's not good.

Has anybody else seen this with their Sony Stereo's or could mine just be knacked?

Cheers

Ben

I would have thought you have no permanent 12volts to it for the memory backup maybe a fuse blown

you should have permanent 12v normally red wire then ignition switched 12v normally yellow wire

they may be the wrong way around on your new adapter so if your not confident in checking and swapping then go back to halfrauds and ask the man that can

or the boy that thinks he can

The wires are the wrong way round, think it's the red and yellow as stated above - a quick search will tell you the answer though, it's been asked a few times before

what did you need an adapter for?

and yes....swap the red and yellow wires around - there is a connection already there. Should be RED - Yellow, and YELLOW - RED now

Take the adaptor back its not required at all. As mentioned above just swap the wires over.

The only thing you may need is the little metal tube antenna adaptor that powers the antenna amplifier.

I had the same........

Had the same problem myself with Sony MEX-BT5000 stereo but in a Seat Leon. I haev no idea what fuse it would be in the Ibiza but in the Leon is was the 10amp fuse in slot 7 of the fuse box (ignition controlled supply).

When the guy from Halfords was installing my Sony stereo to my Leon, he turned the key off and because it didn't bleep, he said that it meant the two wires at the back were the wrong way around, and if it were left that way, the stereo would forget radio channels I had stored etc. He switched the wires around, and now it bleeps a number of times after turning off the ignition - it also remembers the radio channels...
