Sounds like you have the red wire, which should be wired to the 12v ignition wire, wired to a constant 12v supply. You need to check the wiring again and use a voltmeter or test light to make sure the red wire is only wired to a 12v source that can be turned on and off with the key. The yellow wire on the unit needs to be wired to a constant 12v. This keeps the memory stored in the unit. Time, stations, settings, etc.

does your head unit have a wire for dimmer control via the dashboard control? could you have hooked this wire to the power lead? since you hooked into some kind adjustable voltage lead you aren't giving the head unit the current it needs so it only comes on "in a certain spot" because that's the only time it's getting full power
