Its likely that its internal battery is dead. I don't know if the repair guy at TSS Radio can fix that or not, but it is worth reaching out. You can contact him at: [email protected]

    Use the "Power" off button on your SKYFi3 FIRST BEFORE you turn off your car; that you save the presets in the radio. Don't set it for auto on/off, do it manually and you should have better luck. Let me know how it works out for you.

Memorised pre-set stations disappear once tuner is turned off for any lengthy period of time..

Inside the unit will be either a battery or a memory retention capacitor. This keeps power to the chip that stores the setting. If the battery or Capacitor is faulty, then the chip will not have the power to save any settings.
The Capacitor will look something like the image below.

I have a jvc kd-r45 it will not recall any pre set radio stations after it is switched off and demo mode kicks in every time i start it up. Tried reset any ideas?

I don't think you have the memory keep alive wire attached to a constant 12V+ source. This is why it is not keeping set stations and reverting back to demo more every time it is switched on. Usually the memory keep alive wire is yellow.

Hi, my problem is that each time I turn off the ignition I lose all my radio settings (i.e. the station pre-sets). My Sony is a CDX-L400X. I was wondering if there is an internal battery (like a button...

Hi, the problem is likely in the wiring or possibly a burned fuse. There is a separate wire to the radio that is always hot and keeps the station and clock settings while the key is off. If you tell me the car model and year, I may be able to tell you which wire and fuse to check. Was this working originally or has it never worked?

Each time i turn the ignition off the cd receiver loses all the pre set channels and you have to re enter the stations each time

It sounds like you need to make sure the yellow wire is going to a constant power source. That is a source that is still hot with the key off.

I need to set the clock on a CD/cassette radio in a 1999 Ford E 450...also how do I set preset stations too?

Station Pre Set:
You can save 4 pre sets on this radio (1-4) tune the radio to the station you want to save then PUSH and HOLD one of the pre set butons until the sound returns, the station is saved to that pre set. Repeat for the 3 presets.

Clock:
Hour: Push and hold the CLK button and at the same time push the SEEK button to adjust. < decrease hours > increase hours.
Minute: Push and hold the CLK button and at the same time push the TUNE button the adjust. < decrease minutes > increase minutes.

Does not stay set.

your deck has two power sources a main for when your car is turned on so the radio kicks on and a remote which is always on keeping stations and clock powered passively so whoever installed it did it improperly or do to road wear and tear it was jossled lose and can simply tightened after pulling the deck out

Clear all the pre-set channels

There's no clear all settings there. You need to manually delete each saved station. Try to unplug the power of the unit for few hours and check if that clears all.

Station Preset Memory Lost When Power Off

Have same unit, exactly the same problem: station presets lose setting when power is off. I've opened the unit; there is no apparent battery of any kind.

As long as the unit is powered up, the station pre-sets seem to hold. There IS a capacitor across the power switch. Some A/C will therefore be transmitted into the unit when plugged in, even with the switch off. If the capacitor is open, no charge will enter the unit when the power switch is open. I will probably replace this capacitor and see if that fixes things, but it may take several days to do so. Has anyone else tried this?
