The Yellow wire should be connected to a constant (even when the car is off) 12V source. This wire is for the HU memory.

(edit: The yellow wire doesn't have to be connected directly to the battery. There should be a factory wire behind the HU (or at the fuse box) that is constantly hot.)

The other power wires are: Red - ignition (only hot when key is turned on) and Orange - illumination (only hot when headlights are turned on).
