General Radio turning on without key

[KillAByte]

Good afternoon,

I have a 2012 Fiat 500 Sport. With the vehicle sitting still for a few days I noticed the radio was on. There was no key in the ignition and when I turn the radio off the radio will turn on again 10 second later. When I start and cut the engine 10 seconds later the radio will turn on again without a key in the ignition.

Looking for any advice where to look for bare wires or shorts.


Thanks in advance!

It is possible to turn the radio on without the key but you can set it to turn off after say 10 mins(in the radio menu on the radio)
However its well known that there are wiring issues with the tailgate wiring that can cause all sorts of problems

On older pandas and punto

there was a common problem with the cd micro switch on blaupunkt radios

What happens if you leave a CD in

Might be worth disconnecting the battery for half an hour to see if that makes a difference - if you haven't already tried that.
