Okay, the original radio in my wagon finally died last week, so I went
to the local "baseball cap on backwards car stereo store" for a
replacement. They installed a base model JVC AM/FM/CD unit and two new
speakers and I was on my way.

The next morning before work I programmed my presets, clock, tone
controls, etc.

After work  all my presets were gone. I tuned to the local NPR outlet,
set the time,  and drove home.

Next morning I got into the car started it up and I was still tuned to
the NPR station and the time was correct.

Repeating the previous day, after work the presets were gone.

So it works like this. If I leave the key in the ignition (like I do in
my driveway at night) the presets stay, when I remove the key (parking
garage at work) the presets disappear.

What's up?????

Thanx, Jeff
