Pull out the perm live and ignition live and swap them... Thats what people swap when its the red and yellow
Just find the 2 wires that have 12v going to them with a voltmeter

In my case I had to swap the yellow and red wires, disconnect the battery or keep them well away from the stereo or it will spark and blow a fuse like I did lool

When people say they swapped the red and yellow they swapped the perm live with the ignition live, so if your cables arent red and yellow find the 2 with 12v going to them when the ignition is on and swap the pins
Hope this helps

i just done this again for a mate on his new sax what i done is took a voltage meter to the cables and found the two with 12v and then followed they cable down a bit then cut them and then stripped them back and swapped them over using a piece of 5Amp connectioner block and worked fine !
