I recently swapped my Kenwood stereo for a new one, also Kenwood. As the adapter was the same it was relatively easy to swap them over.

Everything was fine for a day. However, the unit always asks to choose a language and whether to stay in demo mode. Saved radio stations remain.

I then took the unit out again to disconnect and reconnect to see if any issues could be resolved. But now there is no power. I have checked the cables and it looks fine. I have also changed the relevant fuse (42) but still nothing. I tried my old stereo and that doesn't work either. I know nothing is wrong with the new stereo as I have had it checked in a shop.

I have been advised that changing round the red and yellow cables on the stereo may fix the resets but I still have the issue of no power.

There should be two fuses that affect the stereo. One provides the main power, the other provides accessory power, which only has power when the vehicle is on or in accessory mode. The stereo needs power from both to turn on. You could have damaged the connector or a wire when you disconnected it, or you could have a different fuse causing the issue.
