   Basically i bought a cd player off my mate and installed it. it works fine besides when the ignition is turned off it loses all the settings and stations that have been saved. and yes i have researched and realise i need to swap the two wires, but i have no F***ing idea on how to remove the wires off the wiring harness and its so small i cannot see whats stopping me from pulling it. Thanks, nik
