Ok fellas I need a sanity check on my new head unit / radio for the truck. I think its bad.
Issue - it loses all the settings, and the clock resets every time I START the truck. It will keep the settings if I just turn the key all the way off take the key out, have a beer, and then put the key in and turn it all the way back on without starting it, but as soon as I crank it, it resets.
What I have done to troubleshoot.
I ran a totally separate wire from the battery to the 12v constant (yellow wire) and the issue still happens.
As a double check, when I disconnect this dedicated wire from the battery, it also causes the unit to reset and lose all the settings.
Old head unit worked fine, I just got this one for Bluetooth.
I think the new one is either bad or just too sensitive to voltage drop on startup.
Am i missing anything? Both batteries are newish and in good shape. Truck turns over fast and starts fast.
