hello my
03 sedona SE has a VDO stereo / cd player fitted.

if you are listening to a CD / Radio with the ignition on for example but engine not running. when the car is started the stereo switches off, what I have also noticed is that most other cars including a Rio I used recently the stereo will know what you were listening to eg CD track 4 "3 mins 20 seconds". does the sedonas stereo not have this memory feature? I have also noticed the DVD screen switches off if the engine is switched on too.


thanks

well it shpuld have memeory.... If not the memory wire is not connected in the back of the unit.....
Also if listening to on ac and then turn on it should turn off but start itself again.. And once again this has to do with memory wire not being hooked up...

thanks, I will check the manual later..

it wont be in the manual... this was supposed to be hooked up when whomever installed it.... you will have to pull unit out to wire the memory wire in.

yeah I spoke to a kia engineer today whilst he was test driving the car.. he said kia made the looms wrong initially but it should be easy enough to sort out.

the wires on the back of the sterio are the wrong way round - the memory and the live wires need to be swapped

When you are cranking the starter, the radio and DVD should turn off for a second. You can also check your room fuse. It is a 15A fuse under the hood in a yellow fuse remover.

The memory wire IS the "live" wire, and nothing is switched around. It the accessory wire and the memory wire were switched around, the radio would work with the car off.

The DVD player gets it's power from the radio.
