Stereo takes too long to start up.

Since Android 6 nearly every stereo is made to to start in approx 2 seconds.

If your stereo no longer starts up in 2 seconds the issue more than likely is your car battery

When the engine is cranking over it draws a lot of power from the car battery

To test this is quite simple.  If it has never started in 2 seconds:

Using a multimeter check that
Yellow is connected to constant
Red is connected to accessories.

2 Versions of testing:
A)  Leave the car engine running -  Cut the red wire going into the stereo in a place where it can easily be re-joined.
          re-join, remove, re-join, remove etc and you should find the unit will re-start in a few seconds every time.
or
B)  Some cars (especially those with CANBUS) may not a separate radio fuse. If possible locate the fuse controlling the accessories / radio fuse and with the engine running remove this fuse and re-connect. The unit uses 2 power supplies - one being Constant and the other being Accessories and you so you need to check if the fuse you are removing is the Accessories one and not the Constant power supply. 

C) You could connect the car to another using jumper leads and turn the car on and off.  This is not the best method as the jumper leads may not carry enough amperage but could be tried but not conclusive

Removing Accessories duplicates what your car is doing when the engine is turned on, but if your car is draining the battery too much when cranking the entire system will re-boot.

The remedy for this is either
 a) replace the battery
 or
Run a decent wire direct from the positive terminal to the yellow wire going to to the stereo
