    even with that in mind, when the ignition is on the HU would still power up, the wire swap just effects the HU's memory

    1. does your interior light work (the HU's yellow permanent feed is on the same fuse as the interior light)
    2. If you haven't got one, get a multimeter (@ Maplin for £5) to check both the yellow and the red wires for a 12v+ reading (yellow should be 12v+ all the time and the red will only be 12v+ when ignition is switched on)
