Hey all,  I am from the US  Sad and drive a 2001 cady Catera.  I came here to see if anyone can help me with the "correct" install of my aftermarker head unit and removal of BOSE!!!!  I have the head unit in but it doesn't turn off and when i get back into my car after 1/4 hour or so its reset to 87.5.  If someone could guide me through wiring whatever wires to make it not do that it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!  Thumbs Up!

Hi, unfortunately i dont know much about audio and cant answer your query, you'd get a better response if you post the question in the Ice And Electrical section

out of curiosity, why remove the bose system??

would love to see your car photos in the gallery section too Thumbs Up!

A warm welcome to the forum.  Thumbs Up!
Sounds like you are missing a permanent feed from the battery to keep the memory alive in the head unit. This should be there when you switch off the ignition with the key. But as said earlier re-post on theIce And Electrical section.  Cool

Welcome to the site Smiley

As said, Vx/Opel/Cadillac reverse the perment 12v and switched 12v from normal, hence you need to swap them over, else the memories will get lost...
