Everytime my key gets shut off in my car the settings on my stereo get erased it is hardwired in without a harness and the remote wire for the power source is ran via power cable hardwired to a blank fuse to shut off when ignition is turned off

Hello .. Most likely someone has installed an aftermarket stereo and used the wrong power supply . Since the stereo and clock usually use the same power wire that's why its killing the battery . Theirs usually a red power wire and a yellow power wire on aftermarket stereos . The red goes to power with key on only and the yellow goes to power even with key off. the yellow just holds the memory so you dont have to set everything every time you shut the car off and on again and will only drain a very small amount from your battery. If the red and yellow are hooked to the same wire then that is the problem ....
It sounds like the keep alive wire has either become disconnected or it was never hooked up. In most cases it is a yellow cable on aftermarket car stereos
you didn hook up the hot at all times wire, or memory wire, its usually yellow on aftermarket stereos and goes to the batt. a way to find that wire is to pull the stereo, leave everything off, and check wires for voltage. once you find one with volts when key is off, just hook the wire up
try to format ur phone perhaps it is infected by virus or more system files are corrupted.
if u have a series 60 device then format it by turning it off then press and Hold Green key, * key,3 key, while holding these keys turn ur phone on continue holding until formatting is displayed on the screen.this will erase ur data on phone memory.
if u have a java set then goto settings then restore factory settings enter code and thats all,this will erase phone memory data.Default code is 12345.
if u have motorola then try master reset and master clear
Make sure the red wire on the unit is hooked up to power. The blue antenna wire is hooked up (or to the factory amplifier) and the yellow wire on the radio is hooked up to a key on power supply. If it works and you lose the memory when you shut the key off, switch the red and yellow wire power supplies.
Either the "accessory" wire is always on or the KD-G120 itself is faulty.
Use a voltmeter to check the wire you have connected to the RED wire coming from the CD player wiring harness. There should be voltage only with the key on or in the accessory position. If there's voltage on it with the key off, it's either defective or the incorrect wire. If the wire tests OK, the problem is in the receiver.
Two questions to narrow this down - one, is it an aftermarket stereo, or a factory one? Two, with the key out of the car, can the stereo be turned on?
If it's aftermarket and it powers on when the key is off, then it's likely two wires are reversed in the harness behind the deck - the constant 12v wire and the switched 12v wire. The constant one is the yellow one, which always supplies power to the deck, keeping power there for the preset memory and the tone settings. The ignition-switched one is so that when the key is turned off, the stereo shuts off (this is the red wire on the harness). If these were reversed, the stereo would always be able to be turned on, and power to the memory settings would be lost when the key is turned off.
