I have installed a new CD player Philips CEM2100 it works but when I turn the car on and off it loses several settings such as:

Volume, eu region for radio (this may be because I haven't fitted the arial) and last playing cd track data.

I have heard that you can swap a few wires around to fix this issue, but dont know which ones.

Here is an image of the wires in my car.

The yellow wire needs to be connected to +12 volts all the time (even with the car off), it sounds like you have this wire connected to switch power. This is the memory wire for the radio that allows it to retain settings when the car is off.

I may be wrong on the color of the wire, I was basing my information on the manual provided by Phillips here (PDF download) But the wire colors listed in the manual don't match what's in your picture. Below is a screenshot of page 9 of the manual.

The colours Larry listed are the ISO standard ones, which it seems Peugeot don't follow.

The permanent live should be pin 7, which is the thick blue wire in your photo. The thin blue wire in pin 4 should be live when the ignition is on. Pin 8 (yellow & green) should be ground, and pin 5 (white) should power the electic aerial. The others are ignored in your stereo (as it only has 4 connections in the socket), and are probably used by Peugeot for steering wheel controls.
