SONY CDX-M8800
Ok, it's doing my nut in now....
Can anyone tell me how to wire up the Sony M8800 unit, so that :-
a) it retains it's settings
and
b) it also turns off when the key is removed from the ignition.
I've currently got it set to stay alive from batt power, but my neighbours and myself are getting annoyed if I leave the car alone for 3 days and the battery is flat. {Cue noisy alarm
}
Anyone?

If you check on the male connector - the white wire in the bottom corner is the Remote wire, just check if the HU has anything wire going into the adapter to connect to this.
