sounds like your radio isnt hooked up to a constant voltage source.

yep, that's what you have done. There are 2 power wires for headunits, one is connected to 12v constant power, the other is connected to a 12v source that turns on with the key. You have both connected to the key switch

take the one that goes to const 12V (I don't know if it's red or yellow) and connect to a place (wire) that gets 12V all the time - even if the car is off.
