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

i got the yellow wire with the yelow andthe red with the red and both them touching since its the only real way to turn the radio on... how would i fix this little problem?

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.
