Sony HU Auto on/off with Ignition

Hi All,

Is there something I've done on my HU that stops the Radio from switching on and off with the Ignition? Currently having to switch it on/off manually once I've started/stopped the car.

 

Thanks

    Back of the unit, is there a red wire and a yellow wire that have bullet connectors? Switch them round so that the yellow goes to red and vice versa. 

    One is switched live and the other is constant, they are often reversed on Sony units.

    Thanks for the reply - I've just found this, looks like I was missing out the major step of opening the door!

    Yes thanks. I'm loving this car so far! So much better than my 2007 Astra!
