hello
There should be a permant feed in the radio block normally a red wire,
Check your fuses but its normally standard if the radio has been fitted.
In my old 6n there was a pair of black blocks
one for speaker connections and another for powering the radio.
On the power block there was a
solid brown wire for ground
solid red for permanant 12 volts
a stripped red for 12 volt swtich from the ignition
and a striped blue/white for the remote ariel connection.
hope this helps

when i brought the car the head unit was wired up already but no permenant live so every time i get in i have to set it all up.no memery.i know there should be a permenant live there but just cant see or feel it anywhere.was just thinking the best place to pick one up from rather than run one from the battery

Right looks like the battery and 12v are in the wrong place
what radio are you using ?

thing with vw is for some unknown reason you have to put the yellow into the red wire and the yellow wire into the red wire. I have this setup, if I put red into red it doesnt save my settings, same as your problem. So basically have the yellow wire from the iso into the red bit on the car bit end, and then the red into the yellow. Its just a question of swapping them around mine lets you swap these wires with clip/slot things
