Sony CDX-GT300 Install in 306

Hi,

Recently bought a 1998 306, have taken out the clarion tape unit that was in there as per instructions found in this group... thanks!

Installed the sony headunit it along with an autoleads adapter to use the peugeots stalk control. Works fine but will not keep time/radio presets when the car is turned off. When it was in this setting it ocasionally has gone mental switching between ATT on/off which is highly annoying. I have tried wiring the power in both suggested ways as well as moving fuse number one down a space (three slots... was in the top two now in the bottom two). This allows the unit to retain time and radio settings... but doesn't allow the unit to be turned off by the cars key when everything is turned off and the key removed.

Obviously would like the best of both worlds i.e. settings are saved and unit is turned off by the key.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Did you get this sorted out? I am about to replace my original radio with a Sony, and would like to know if there is anything special I should know about.

I realise that this is an exreamly late response to a problem that has more than likely been solved i know these sites can hepl for novices attemptin their first install so if someone else is experiencing a problem such as this, i would highly recomend the trusty old trusty old volt meter has always seen me through this type of problem, quite simply it helps i dentify the constant current feed or memory wire from the car and then means that i can move the connector pins in the radio accordingly, this is usually the most simple and reliable way to get these instalations right! if anyone has any questions i will be more than happy to try and help, just email me at snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com.
