you need to have a power supply to the head unit all the time, you just need to swap the iso wiring around

FAQ

If your radio stations do not save when you have installed your after market head unit, you need to swap over the Red and Yellow wires.

Yep on the back there should be a thick red and thick yellow wire which mates up to the same on the car loom.Just swap them around.So the red is with the yellow and vice versa.

i doubt you'll be able to remove them from the iso block without breaking it.

you'll have to cut the wires to swap them.
the right way to rejoin them is to solder them and heat shrink them.
the lazy way is to twist them together and wrap in insulation tape or to use a choccy block.
