Where can you find the live ignition wire for stereo in Mercedes c180 2002?
there is no ignition wire for the stereo, so what you need to do (what i did) is take the ignition wire from the cigarette lighter, as it only works when the ignition is on. i extended my stereo live ignition cable (u can use any wire) and fed it through to the cigarette lighter cable, made a little cut in the plastic casing of the wire, attached my wire to it, covered it with electrical tape, and voila, the stereo now works as normal!! hope this helps, if its not clear, let me know. rikxx

How do you keep car settings when replacing battery?
You can purchase a device at most auto parts stores for that purpose that plugs into your cigarette lighter socket or any accessory outlet and supplies 12 volts to the system while you are changing the battery. This will only work if the lighter or accessory outlet is live when the ignition is off. Another way is to connect another car battery with jumper cables to the positive battery cable you are disconnecting and then to any ground source on the engine. With this method you MUST be very careful to not let that positive cable touch anyplace on the vehicle. If you use that method have someone help you.

Where do you connect the fuse cable wire from a car stereo you have a Red wire that is the live a black wire that is earth and a yellow wire that is for fuse where do you connect the yellow wire too?
Red goes to a switched live i.e one that is only live when the ignition is switched on. Yellow goes to a permanent live i.e one that is always live whether the ignition is n or not, like the cigarette lighter, and maintains the station configuration memory. However, a modern car should have a pre-wired Din connector and a local motor factor will have the corresponding universal adaptor for your radio; connect colour ro colour (inc speaker wires) and plug it in !
