   Ive just tried to connect my cd player up in my furio and my brother told me that if i connect the yellow wires into the red ones it will save the radio stations but when i did it it sparked a little so i didnt carry on, i then turned the ignition on and it made a weird like whining noise and the battery light stayed on even when the engine was running any idea whats wrong please?

   No you might have blow a fuse. Have a look at the fuse box and at the back of the cd player

   Disconect the battery and refit the stereo. If it's makeing a constant noise even if the cars off it sounds like it's not wired correctly. Do you have a wireing diagram?
