New member and proud owner of a 182 + question??

[Bradley91]

Hey guys,

Based in South of England and just purchased a 182.

Quick question ... I have input the radio code and the time on the display unit. The radio works fine and the clock also but when i turn off the ignition and then restart the ignition the radio needs the code again and the time returns to 00:00. I am guessing something is wrong with memory here?

If anyone knows how to solve this or has experienced this any help would be greatly appreciated

Welcome along mate

Ref the clock resetting, do you mean turning it off/on straight away or when the car has been left say overnight. If overnight could be your battery needs replacing soon

 

[Bradley91]

Thanks for the reply mate!

Well its literally anytime i turn on and off the electric without even starting the car. As if it just isnt saving any data?

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

No worries

It might be not saving the clock etc as it could be the battery draining. I'd check the battery, connections and earth contacts etc

Hopefully be something simple/easy to sort for you

I'm pretty damn adamant that the permanent live isn't connected in your radio mate. Very simple fix. All you do is remove the head unit which is piss easy and then swap the red and yellow wires in the loom, ensure they are plugged in first!

Cheers mate! Just little tweaks to begin with

Stubby aerial
New number plates
Aftermarket radio
Led numberplate light (already have xenon headlights)

Any other ideas?

Based in southampton mate

Fatty induction kit had mine on two months love it but it's very loud after 4000 rpm

Sounds like a new battery is needed mate I had same problem a new one sorted it for me.

 

[Ex-User (19928)]

I'd be surprised if the battery can start a car but not keep enough power to stop the clock resetting. If it's immediate then as someone else suggests it sounds like the permanent live is corroded/shorting.

I can't offer anything useful in how to resolve that though!

I would say it's 1000000% the wires need switching
