Re: wiring up radio
Make sure that you run the yellow wire straight to +12v (memory) unswitched source. The Red wire (Switched ignition) should run to the ignition.

Somewhere it's not connected to an always hot wire so that when you shut it off, the radio loses the memory.
Try rewiring again.

Re: wiring up radio
what kind of car is it? allot of newer cars you have to run a constant power to the main ignition harness for an aftermarket radio to get 12v stock radio runs off a lower input
