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.

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

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.

Yes that is why it does not alert you. It requires power to alert you. When you turn the key off, your radio loses all power, so it can not beep because there is no power.
