Just Installed an Aftermarket Radio -- HELP!!!

I just installed one of those Aftermarket radio <br>
that plays 100++ mp3 song on a single CD. Erverything works perfect expect when I turn the engine off I loose all my preset memory. I'm using the wiring harness crutchfield supplied and soldered all the wires together. I bet our cars does not supply power to the radio when its shut off but I'm sure there is a way to get around this. HELP!! **i have the bose system on my 99ML430** thanks....

You have both the power and remote wires connected to the REM +. more

All radios have two power wires. One is connected to an 'always-on' power source so that any presets and the time will always be saved. The other is connected to a remote power source which shuts off with the engine.<br>
<br>
The harness they gave you is wrong or you didn't connect them properly.

Certainly! I've noticed the 2 wires with the harness. Red - power and I think yellow for 'always-on' power. I guess the problem is with the harness. Do you know where I can obtain a harness spesifically for the 430? The one I got from crutchfield is for the 320. Thanks!

I don't think it should matter which model but rather if it's a bose/non-bose system.

Not sure where to get it but if the harness snapped into place properly, then it could just very well be a defective harness. Try calling crutchfield again and ask if they have the wiring diagram for the ML.
