    suggest you take a breather before you start swapping wires over mate.

    on the rear of the headunit there is an ISO loom, one end of this loom fits into the headunit, the other end should have two ISO connector blocks attached, one supplies your speakers, one supplies your headunits power connections.

    it is on the above loom you alter the wiring, not on the cars loom. there should be a red wire with a bullet connector & also a yellow wire with a bullet connector, to alter the wiring so the headunits memory function works you should split these bullet connectors and connect them back up crossed,(red to yellow & yellow to red).

    if you switch wires around on the vaux audio loom you will cause problems in other areas of the dash,(assuming you don't blow fuses).
    if it sounds right to you, then its right.

    ok, you need to switch the permanent live with the ignition live and vica versa.

    check the headunits chassis for a wiring key, if there isn't one then check the headunits manual.
    if it sounds right to you, then its right.
