Any ideas?

Are you talking about your DIC? The DIC will not retain time/date function once you've installed a third party stereo. However, if it's the Kenwood unit that isn't functioning with time/date function then it does not have 12v always on wired appropriately or it's defective.

yes the DIC. The unit is fine, i guess just something I'll have to live with. No biggie just one of those things you turn your head at wondering why. I'm also having to custom fabricate a trim piece since no one makes a double din kit for the car. I'll post some pictures when i'm happy with it.
