It's wired wrong. More then likely both power wires are connected to constant power instead of one constant and one switched.

you have a short to power some how.

theres a white wire with a red stripe on in the car not hooked up wat is that

You need to connect/reconnect the 'ACC' wire on your headunit to the acc wire in the car. I don't remember what colour it is (could be that white/red) but you should have your 12V wire going to your battery/12V wire and another headunit wire (acc) going to the 'acc' wire in the car.
If your headunit is staying on it means you have both headunit wires going to your 12v.
(sorry if that sounds messed up..)

I found my acc wire by touching the HU acc wire around (with the key on one click) until I found the wire that activated my antenna motor.

Try connecting that white/red wire to the 'acc' wire on your headunit.

use punctuation and for the love of god, its what, not wat


whoever installed your unit did it wrong. switched power and constant power are probably wired up wrong

General Wires:
Purple/White - Switched/Ignition power - connect to Red on aftermarket harness
Brown/Black - Ground - connect to Black
Red/Green - Constant Power - Connect to Yellow
White - Power Antenna - Connect to Blue
Grey/Red - headlight, dash light switch - connect to orange


also, a simple search on these forums would have returned you with,

Unplug your hazard button, see if the radio turns off.

If it does, you need a new button.
