    when it doesnt save any stations or the time, in my experience there is 2 wires that need to be switched around. i cant remember off the top of my head what colours they are. i'm sure they are red and yellow but dont quote me on it

    That looks a mess you need to get yourself a wiring diagram and a soldering iron and heat shrink tubing to sort that out.

    As for your radio stations you should have a constant 12v feed to the yellow wire on the back of your head unit. A switched 12v feed to the red wire on the back of the head unit. The blue wire on the head unit is often the power switch feed for the amp / electronic antenna.

    The wires that you are holding in your hand are all speaker wires.The big yellow one looks like the 12v constant or switched live and i cant see any other.

    Hate to say it but depending on your Halford's they might do it just depends if they have some one who has a clue. Have a ask around in your regional section mate I am sure some one will be able to sort it for you if you include some beer tokens.

    Haynes manual has wiring diagrams in it and will be best but there is this.

    But you need to put the red to the yellow wire an the yellow wire to the red wire to keep your stations.

    trial and error is what i used in my old 1.1

    the wires were a fucking mess, so i just adjusted the headunit to each speaker separately, then tested each wire until i got a positive sound, after about an hour it was all done, i knew which wire was which and taped them all up correctly.

    Change the switched live before din plugs by swapping the thin and thick grey wires


    Or after by swapping the read and yellow over
