Ford KA MK2 Stereo Issues

[TGMGamingzz1]

Hello, this is my first post on this forum and the reason for this is because I have a issue with my stereo on my FORD KA MK2. It is a Sony aftermarket stereo that I have installed but for some reason it doesn't turn on and off with the key ignition. I have to manually turn the stereo on and off when ever I get in and out of the car.

I was just wandering if anyone on here knew of any simple fixes that could fix this issue as it is quite annoying. I have however previously read that I could power the stereo from the cigarette lighter power source, is this true and if so how can I do that.

Thanks for your time.

Whoever fitted it took both feeds from the permanent live, rather than one from the perm for memory, one from the ignition. It'll all be in the multiplug behind the head unit, but there'll be bullet connectors in the red & yellow to the head, so you can do it as you wish.

Thank you for your reply @TooMany2cvs but I still keep the memory for the stereo so when ever I turn the stereo on it says the correct time and has all the correct settings from when I last turned the stereo off.
