I've installed a simple on/off switch so that I can kill power to the stereo and not drain the battery. The switch works as it should after I wired it but I thought I'd be able to wire so that the settings would be maintained when I switch it back on. Is this possible? I have a yellow wire coming from the boat wiring harness that's labeled battery (assuming this is constant 12v), a red wire and ground that I used for the switch. The radio also has the same wiring so I wired like to like and connected the red (from both boat harness and stereo harness) to the prong labeled power on the switch and the yellow (from boat and stereo harness) to the prong labeled accessory and ground to ground (just to make the switch light up). Works well although, thought I could do away with having to reset all of the settings each time I power up the stereo?? Is this possible and how would I rewire this? I can take a few pics if needed when I get to the boat either later tonight or tomorrow. Sorry I'm a bit retarded when it comes to wiring. Any help is much appreciated as always.
Thanks
