Radio Turned Itself On...

This is a weird behavior I saw today. I have a '04 C4S with the Stock CDR-23 (no Bose).

I stopped at a corner store to grab a drink. When I got out of the car I know the radio was off. I know this because I'm currently using a FM modulator to listen to my iPhone. So when I disconnect, I hear static until the radio shuts off.

When I got back into the car and put my key in, the radio turned on. This was before I turned the ignition...

Anyone else ever see this behavior? I'm chalking it up as some kind of bug (or maybe I did ever so slightly turn the ignition). Just kind of weird. Not use to something turning on unexpectantly... just turning off ;)

Sounds like the classic problem with the ignition switch going bad!! Have you noticed any irregularities with the dash lights just before ignition ??

Do a searc hfor ignition switch and you will a DYI as well as many other posts on the subject.

The opposite happens to mine randomly but it happens when the ignition is on. I don’t think it’s my switch since I replaced it a couple of years ago. Let us know what you find out. GL

So normal that it has only ever happened once?

When you get in your p-car and just insert your key, your radio turns on?

I think so... my Mercedes does the same thing too.

Yes every time...as long as the radio was on when I shut it down.
