It is normally called constant power.It needs to be connected somewhere which gets it's power directly from the battery without the ignition affecting it whether on or off.Red is called switched power and hooks up through the output of the ignition.Orange will keep the presets in memory and uses very little power and is designed so low that it will not drain your battery.All car stereos work basically the same way as that also.The aftermarket stereos such as yours,Panasonic,Pioneer etc. usually have the same basic power setups.Red switched power.Orange constant power.Black ground.Blue power antenna.The speaker wire colors usually are different between manufacturers.If you have any questions or need more help,just comment here and I will get an autolink to your post and reply ASAP.I really encourage responses so I can follow up properly as I know where you stand and asking someone else restarts all the explaining because we cannot see other 'Expert's' responses.Good luck,Greg
