The PO of my car botched the stereo install on my car. The "memory" wire has been tapped into a circuit that is hot in run only, so I lose all my presets when I kill the car. I didn't care enough to change it, until my bonehead friend pulled my stereo to look at the wiring. Now that it's out in the open, I want to set things right. Does anyone know which wires to tap into when properly installing a modern stereo in an EA81?

 

P.S. I already ran new wiring to the aftermarket speakers I installed a few years ago.

I'm not sure the PO botched it, since it never had an always-hot wire because ea81's didn't come with a modern enough stereo to have digital presets that required it...

 

poke around with a volt meter and see if you can find something that's hot all the time... worst case is that you have to go all the way to the fuse box and tap off the hot side of that...
