The accessory (ACC) power wire for the AVIC isn't connected correctly. You have it connected to a constant source, not an ignition/accessory source.

I'm not sure off hand. It should be listed with the harness/adapter for your car.

You may need a CAN bus adapter that has a switched accessory power output.

+1 a lot of new car do no have a ACC wire at the radio harness, and instead get the turn on and turn off signals from the CAN bus system, so you will either need to get the correct harness(probably expensive) that has a module that can read the CAN signal and switch it over to a ACC wire, or you can run a new wire from somewhere in the car that is triggered by the KEY like a fuse box or something (this is a lot more advanced and you probably shouldn't try this if you dont know what your doing)
