noob wiring HU into vt

[sam5709]

hey guys, im trying to wire in my new pioneer head unit into my car but i cant find the constant 12v wire, iv looked in all the diagrams posted in the forums but its not there? the only way i can get the head unit to work is if i connect the constant and the acc wire from my HU to the acc factory wire, but the when i turn the car off i loose all my radio and tuning settings?

any help would be great

Its the orange wire. Its definately there, did you disconnect the battery when doing the wiring? check that you havent blown the fuse

cheers for the swift response and helpful info :d
