you wired it in right its just that vauxhall put the constant live and the ingintion live cables the other way round.

so its as easy as swapping two wires not sure what colour they are but if you have a multimeter one will be constant 12v and the other will be 12v but only when the ignition is on.
or if you have a wiring diagram swap the wire labled memory or mem with the wire labled live or + or batt
