so i have sort of no radio cuz my memory wire (constant 12V+) doesn´t have any currency no more. the accessory wire works, though. i can use the radio now by hooking it up to the accessory wire but this sucks cuz it loses the whole setup whenever the ignition is off.
my fuse is not blown (32) and i have no clue what else it could be (hopefully not the wire). any otehr ideas where i could get +12 (not linked to the ignition) from? i thought about running a new wire from the battery to the radio but the firewall is a pain in the ass to get through.
any advice?
thanks, clemens

first had original ford, was [censored], had a panasonic, was stolen, then had a blaupunkt for 2 weeks (borrowed) and now have another panasonic. the problems started witht he blaupunkt unit, but i thought it was supposed to be like htis. my new panasonic runs like it is supposed to be in other cars. i checked teh wires and where there should be constantly +12 tehre´s nothing, not even witht the ign. on.

I believe there is a constant +12VDC on the cigerette lighter. IF this is true, then just run a new wire from there.
