It would help if we knew what kind of a vehicle you had. You connected the radio's yellow wire to a switched 12 volt source. It needs to be connected to a constant 12 volt source.

What about radio channel presets? Sound like your memory wire/ constant is hooked to a key hot.

ok guys thanks for replying i have 97 Honda CRVdre

 so my yellow wire will go to white and blue?dre

Ensure that the yellow wire from your deck is hooked to the constant 12v+ blue/white wire of the vehicle.

yes, blue wire with a white stripe from the vehicle to the yellow wire from the deck.

oh thanks a lot guys i thought my unit was faulty i would check it in the morning and keep you guys post thanks muchdre

one more thing could this be the reason why the headunit does not beep to tell you you left the faceplate on after 5 seconds?  I have warning tone set to on in my setting. dre
