Default Radio connection question, '01 Neon

I have posted this also in the Neon section. I have a radio from an '01 Neon. The wiring diagram on the back (feed connector) shows the following: batt+, acc., illum., and park. Which of these is used as a memory. Can't seem to retain memory on the radio. Should the proper wire be hooked to 12v constant, or 12v switched? Thanks, David.

12v constant is always memory wire

Default radio connections....

Weedahoe.... Thanks for your reply. That's what I thought, but having to hardwire the '01 Neon radio into another make of vehicle confused me. Most assumed I was using the radio in an '01 Neon, w/ a factory harness. I probably didn't make my install too clear. Thanks, David.

Weedahoe... Thanks for the info. on the factory diagrams. I have looked at the site a number of times for factory connections, etc. Good for that, but not for putting an XXXX car brand radio into a YYYY car . The '01 Neon radio went into a '85 VW Quantum. VW sure can mess up some wiring (changes in colors from one end of the car to the other, etc. Thanks, David.
