Why does your stereo loss memory after ignition is turned off?
You need to switch the red wire with the yellow wire and it will not lose the memory any more. One wire is coming from the ignition and the other from the battery directly.
When connecting a stereo is the 12V contant wire a connection to the battery?
yes a 12v constant is a wire that has 12 volts even with the ignition off, you should not have to run a new wire the existing stereo should have one for station memory. with the ignition off test all wires on the stereo connector, only one should have power.
What causes the stereo clock to re-set itself to 1200 every time you start the car?
There is a wire to the stereo that has power all the time ( straight to battery ) so that it retains its memory. This wire is disconnected, broken, or faulted somewhere. If it is an aftermarket stereo it might never have been connected. In the stereo wiring harness there should be one wire that has power with the ignition off, that is the one it will connect to for memory. If there is not one start checking fuses and wire continuity.

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
