I put an old Acura tape deck in my car. It needed a code to turn on, as I know they do. But it asks for the code every time I turn on the car. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to stop this? It isn't a big deal, just odd.

I think I've figured it out. The fuses are fine, but I think my turbo timer cuts power compeltely to the radio when I turn off the car. Bah. Weird.

PS Do you also lose radio pre sets?
