If I was doing this at home I would put it back to the original setup which isn't affect by the stop start but does lose it's settings then I'd find the memory wire ( yellow ) and run a permanent fused live to the battery. Then it should work through Start/Stop and retain it's settings.
Right, that's kind of how it is right now. Ignition live is from the loom, permanent live from the battery directly, due to the "timed live".
Do you still have the original HU.
If that runs no issue it points to the Sony being at fault.
I do still have it, it didn't display any issues before it was taken out, but I'd have to mess with the wires to put it back in to test now I think given the permanent live has been switched over by the installers to the dedicated one.
I know people seem to think this all points to the Sony being at fault, but it's doing exactly what it's supposed to as far as I can tell, given the wiring it has been fed, in both scenarios. If I were to try another head unit, should I be putting it in with just the standard wiring loom? Assuming it loses its settings overnight, what have we proved...the timed live of Narnia is a real thing?
Again, a man I spoke to on the phone (I wish I'd written his name down) at Comand seemed to think this was all normal behaviour for a 3rd party head unit. Whereas another man at Comand doesn't.
