Yea, it sounds like you dont have a constant wire hooked up.

Re: No cd player memory?

Stereos need 2 power wires, a constant and a switched. The constant is whats used to store youre settings, the switched is what actually runs the unit when you turn it on.

Get a meter and look for a 12v constant. Make sure you crank, run and switch off the car while you're testing the wire to make sure it stays hot during the entire cycle.
